[LECS/EM-03003]-Electrostatic EnergyNode id: 5653pageThe electrostatic energy of a continuous charge distribution is defined as the energy required to assemble the charges at infinity into the positions as in the given distribution. For a continuous charge distribution it is shown to be \( \dfrac{\epsilon_0}{2}\iiint(\vec E\cdot\vec E) dV\) . Thus a volume of space having nonvanishing electric field has energy density \(\dfrac{\epsilon_0}{2}(\vec E\cdot\vec E)\).The expression for the electrostatic energy reduces to the usual answer \(\frac{1}{2} CV^2\) for a charged parallel plate capacitor. For a uniformly charged sphere of radius \(R\) the electrostatic energy is proved to be equal to \(\frac{3}{5}\Big(\frac{Q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R^2} \Big)\). |

[LECS/EM-03005]-Maxwell’s Equations for ElectrostaticsNode id: 5655pageThe Maxwell's equations for electrostatic are derived from Coulomb's law which has been formulated based on experiments. This provides initial experimental evidence for the Maxwell's equations. We discuss two applications of Maxwell's equations. The first result is that the electric field inside an empty cavity in conductors is proved to be zero. The second result is an expression for electric stress tensor is derived. The surface integral of the electric tensor gives the force on charge distribution.

A few examples of computing the electric field using Gauss law and symmetry of the problem are discussed. A simple and intuitive proof of Gauss law is given following Feynman lectures. The task of proving Gauss law for arbitrary charge distribution is reduced to the problem proving the Gauss law for a single point charge by appealing to the superposition principle. |

[LECS/EM-02001] Coulomb's Law and Electric FieldNode id: 6012articleThe Coulomb's law gives the force between two point charges. It can be reformulated as giving electric field of a point charge which in turn gives rise to force on a nearby point charge.The electric field of a point charge is generalized to system with continuous charge distributions. Expression for the electric field of line surface and volume charge distiibutions are given. The examples of computation of electric field of (a) Line charge, (b) Uniformly charged loop, (c) Thin Spherical Shell and (d) Dipole are discussed.
