This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of electricity and capacitors, including the electric Gauss law, electric flux, and different types of charged surfaces. It also delves into the behavior of electric fields around charged spheres, cylinders, and plates. The discussion extends to capacitors, their capacity to store electric charge, and their configurations in parallel and series. The lecture concludes with an exploration of the electrostatic energy stored in capacitors and its transformation into thermal energy through practical experiments.
