Chapter-2|Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance| NCERT 12th Physics: Capacitors and Capacitance: A capacitor is an arrangement of two conductors separated by an insulating medium that is used to store electric charge and electric energy. Capacitance of Capacitor: A capacitor consists of two conductor having charges +Q and -Q. The potential difference between them is V=V₁
Chapter-2|Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance| NCERT 12th Physics: Dielectrics and Polarisation: In a dielectric under the effect of an external field, a net dipole moment is induced in the dielectric due to molecular dipole moment, a net charge appears on the surface of the dielectric. These induced charges produce a field opposing the external field.
Chapter-2|Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance| NCERT 12th Physics: Electrostatics of Conductors: Conductors: Conductors are the materials through which electric charges can flow easily. When a conductor is placed in electrostatic field, the conductors show the following properties. 1. Inside a conductor, electrostatic field is zero. 2. At the surface of a charged conductor, electrostatic field must
