Distance And Displacement 1. Distance Suppose an object is along the x-axis. In time t₁ the object reaches A from the original point and in time t₂ the object reaches B from the original point. AB=(x₂-x₁)=∆x Duration, ∆t=(t₂-t₁) Therefore, the length between two points in a given period of … Read more
Electric dipole Electric dipole is a system in which two equal but opposite type of point charges are located at a short distance from each other. The product of any one charge and the short distance between the two charges is called electric dipole moment. It is represented by P. P= q.2l cm (meter . … Read more
1. Axial or Longitudinal Position Suppose an electric dipole with dipole moment P. We want to calculate the electric field intensity at a point P located at a distance r from the centre o of the dipole. Electric field intensity at point P due to +q charge E₁ = [1/4π€0].q/(r+l)²] Similarly, Electric field intensity at … Read more
Electric force line Electric force lines are imaginary but the electric fields generated by them are real. A tangent drawn at any point to the electric field line represents intensity of the electric field at that point. Properties of electric line of force 1. These lines run from positive charge and end at negative charge. … Read more
Importance of Coulomb’s law When a charge is stationary then only the electric force acts on it. Which was discovered by Coulomb. Therefore it is also called Coulomb force.When a charge is stationary then only the electric force acts on it. Which was discovered by Coulomb. Therefore it is also called Coulomb force.

Electric charge Electricity is the factor by which charge is generated in any object or substance. When a substance becomes electrostatic, the substance acquires charge. Therefore such a substance is called a charged substance. There are two types of electric charges. Those substances which accept charge have an excess of charge and those substances which … Read more
Rainbow When sunlight enters a raindrop, it is refracted along its path, causing different wavelengths of white light. So the one with higher wavelength (red) bends the least while the one with lower wavelength (violet) bends the most. After this, these component rays hit the surface inside the drop and … Read more

Refraction of light through a prism In the prism, the angle of incidence on the first face AB is i and the angle of refraction is r1, while the angle of incidence on the second face AC is r2 and the angle of refraction or exit angle is e. The angle ∆ … Read more
Refraction by lens A transparent medium surrounded by two curved surfaces, one or both of whose surfaces are spherical, is called a lens. There are two types of lenses- 1. convex 2. concave Convex lens The two spherical surfaces protruding outward in a lens are called convex lenses. Convex lens thicker in the middle … Read more
