Electrostatic Potential Energy Of Different Charge Configurations. Lecture-10, 11.
We assume the charges to be located infinitely away from each other, initially. The charges interact among each other electrically when they come closer together, by the dint of Coulomb’s force. This gives rise to an electrostatic force between each pair of charge. When the charges come closer we have to perform work against the…

Conservative Nature of the Electrostatic Field and Electrostatic Potential, Lecture – 4.
Today we will discuss the conservative nature of the static electric field — the time varying fields are not amenable to this conservative nature as we would learn in an advance discourse. This is intimately connected with the concept of the Helmholtz theorem which has been discussed on this website (linked below), in an advance…
