Let's break down every single subtopic from the syllabus, with detailed explanations for all chapters. I will ensure
that every subtopic is included for a complete last-minute revision.

Unit I: Electrostatics (26 Periods)

Chapter 1: Electric Charges and Fields


Electric Charges: A property of matter that causes it to experience a force in an electric and magnetic field. There are two types: positive
and negative. Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract.
Conservation of Charge: Charge cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one body to another.
Coulomb’s Law: Describes the force between two point charges. The force is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Force Between Multiple Charges: The net force on a charge due to multiple other charges is calculated by applying the superposition
principle (vector sum of individual forces).
Superposition Principle: The net force or field due to multiple sources is the vector sum of the forces or fields due to each source separately.
Electric Field: The space around a charged body where it exerts a force on other charges. It is defined as the force per unit charge at any
point.
Electric Field Due to a Point Charge: The electric field produced by a point charge is radially outward for positive charges and radially inward
for negative charges.
Electric Field Lines: Imaginary lines used to represent the direction of the electric field. They originate from positive charges and end at
negative charges.
Electric Dipole: A pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. It creates an electric field that is different from a single
charge.
Torque on a Dipole in a Uniform Electric Field: When placed in a uniform electric field, a dipole experiences a torque that tends to align it
with the field.
Electric Flux: The product of the electric field and the area through which it passes. It is a measure of the number of field lines passing
through a surface.
