Class 12 Physics - Chapter-wise Short Notes & Formula Sheet
1. Electric Charges and Fields
Short Notes:
- Charge is a scalar quantity.
- Like charges repel, unlike charges attract.
- Coulomb's Law: F = k * |q1*q2| / r^2
Formulas:
Coulomb's Law: F = k * |q1*q2| / r^2
Electric Field: E = F/q
Electric Field due to point charge: E = k*q/r^2
2. Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
Short Notes:
- Potential energy exists due to position in electric field.
- Capacitance is the ability to store charge.
Formulas:
V = k*q/r
C = Q/V
C (parallel plate) = A/d
3. Current Electricity
Short Notes:
- Current is the rate of flow of charge.
- Ohms law relates V, I and R.
Formulas:
V = IR
R = L/A
Power = VI = IR = V/R
4. Moving Charges and Magnetism
Short Notes:
- A moving charge creates a magnetic field.
- Right-hand rule determines direction of magnetic field.
Formulas:
B = I/2r (straight wire)
F = qvBsin
F = I L B sin
