Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Where does it come from? Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. Where can I get some? There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc. 5 paragraphs words bytes lists Start with 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...'

Coulomb's Law

Coulomb's Law



History


The first measurement of the force between electric charges was made in 1784 AD by Charles Coulomb. He was a French military engineer. On the basis of these measurements, he deduced a law known as Coulomb's Law.

Introduction


We know that there are two types of charges, namely positive and charges. The charge on an electron is assumed to be negative and charge on a proton is positive. Moreover we know that like charges repel each other while opposite charges attract each other.

Definition


The force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of hte distance between them. It is mathematically expressed as
\[F \propto \,\frac{{{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^2}}}\] or \[F = k\,\frac{{{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^2}}}\]

Explaination

Where F is the magnitude of the mutual force that acts on each of the two point charges
\[{q_1}\]
and
\[{q_2}\]
and r is the distance between tham. The force F always acts along the line joining the two point charges, K isthe constant of proportionality. Its value depends upon the nature of medium between the two charges and system of units in which F, q and r are measured. If the medium between the two point charges is free space and the system of units is SI, then k is represented as \[k\, = \,\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _o}}}\] where
\[{{\varepsilon _o}}\]
is an electrical constant, known as permitivitiy of free space. In SI units, its value is
\[8.85{\mkern 1mu} \times {\mkern 1mu} {10^{ - 12}}N{m^2}{C^{ - 2}}\]
. Substituting the value of
\[{{\varepsilon _o}}\]
the constant
\[k{\mkern 1mu} = {\mkern 1mu} \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _o}}}\, = 9 \times {\mkern 1mu} {10^9}N{m^2}{C^{ - 2}}\]

Coulomb's Law in free space

Coulomb's Law in free space can be written as
\[F = {\mkern 1mu} \,\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _o}}}\frac{{{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^2}}}\,\]
As stated earlier, Coulomb's force is mutual force, it means that if
\[{{q_1}}\]
exerts a force on
\[{{q_2}}\],
then
\[{{q_2}}\]
also exerts an equal and opposite force on
\[{{q_1}}\].
If we denote the force exerted on
\[{{q_2}}\]
by
\[{{q_1}}\]
as
\[{\vec F_{12}}\]
and that on charge
\[{{q_1}}\]
due to
\[{{q_2}}\]
as
\[{\vec F_{21}}\]
then
\[{{\vec F}_{12}}\, = \, - {{\vec F}_{21}}\] The magnitude of both these two forces is the same and is given by
