Potential At A Point Due To An Electric Dipole
Mar 27th
Let us calculate Potential At A Point Due To An Electric Dipole:-
Let an electric dipole consist of two equal and opposite point charges – q at A and +q at b ,separated by a small distance AB =2a ,with centre at O.
The dipole moment p=q*2a
We will calculate potential at any point P,where
OP=r and angle BOP= θ More >
Electric Potential Due To Single Charge Or Point Charge
Mar 26th
let us discuss and derive the electric potential due to single charge or point charge. We will calculate electric potential at any point P due to a single point charge +q at O ;where OP=r
Electric potential at P is the amount of work done in carrying a unit positive charge from ∞ to P.
At any point A on the line joining OP ,where OA=x,the electric intensity is E=1/4πε0q/x2 along OA produced (try to make the figure yourself). More >
Electric potential and electric potential difference
Mar 21st
let us today discuss the the concept of electric potential and electric potential difference.
Electric Potential
Electric Potential at a point in an electric field is defined as amount of the work done in moving a unit positive test charge from infinity to that point against the electric force of the field. More >
Energy stored in capacitor derivation
Mar 18th
Energy stored in Capacitor
A charged Capacitor is a store of electrical potential energy.
To find the energy stored in a capacitor, let us consider a capacitor of capacitance C, with a potential difference V between the plates.
There is a charge +q on one plate and –q on the other. More >
Einstein Coefficient Relation
Mar 13th
Einstein Coefficient Relation derivation and discussion:
Einstein showed the interaction of radiation with matter with the help of three processes called stimulated absorption, spontaneous emission and stimulated emission. He showed in 1917 that for proper description of radiation with matter,the process of stimulated emission is essential.Let us first derive the Einstein coefficient relation on the basis of above theory:
Let N1 be the number of atoms per unit volume in the ground state E1 and these atoms exist in the radiation field of photons of energy E2-E1 =h v such that energy density of the field is E. More >
