This class is about the electrostatic chapter of class 12. Students preparing for NEET and JEE can also attend. Students are advised to sit in a distraction free environment and take notes. Attend all questions meant for assessment.

Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of electric charges at rest. It explores how charges interact, the forces they exert on each other, and the fields they create in their surroundings. The foundation of electrostatics lies in Coulomb’s law, which quantifies the force between two point charges, and Gauss’s law, which helps in calculating electric fields in symmetrical charge distributions.

Key concepts include electric field, electric potential, capacitance, and energy stored in capacitors. Electrostatic phenomena are responsible for everyday occurrences like lightning, static electricity, and the working of devices like capacitors and inkjet printers. Understanding electrostatics is crucial for fields ranging from electrical engineering to materials science.

As we progress, we will derive fundamental equations, analyze field patterns, and explore applications. This chapter forms the backbone of electromagnetism, leading us toward deeper concepts like electric circuits and electromagnetic waves.
