Welcome to the world of electrostatics, a fascinating branch of physics that delves into the study of stationary electric charges and their interactions. In this course material, we will embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries behind the existence of positive and negative charges in matter, the different methods of charging a body, the intricacies of Coulomb's inverse square law, and much more.

At the core of electrostatics lies the concept of charges, where we will learn to identify the fundamental properties of positive and negative charges. Understanding how objects become charged through friction, contact, and induction will be essential as we explore the behavior of charged bodies in different scenarios.

One of the key tools in electrostatics is the electroscope, which allows us to detect the presence of electric charges and understand their nature. We will examine the construction and working principles of the electroscope, learning how it can be used to determine the presence and magnitude of charges.

Coulomb's inverse square law governs the interaction between charges, dictating the force between them based on their magnitudes and separation distances. By applying this law, we will delve into solving problems related to electrostatics and analyzing the behavior of charged particles in various configurations.

As we progress through the course material, we will deduce expressions for electric field intensity and potential difference, crucial concepts that help us understand the influence of charges on their surroundings. Exploring the electric field flux patterns generated by isolated and interacting charges will provide insights into the spatial distribution of electric forces.

Moreover, we will analyze how charges distribute themselves on conductors and investigate the role of lightning conductors in protecting structures from electrical discharges. By studying the principles of electrostatics, we will uncover the mechanisms behind phenomena such as electric discharge and lightning, enriching our understanding of the natural forces at play.

(a)(i) Coulomb's law of electrostatics states that the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically, F = kQ1Q2/r^2, where F is the electrostatic force, Q1 and Q2 are the charges on the objects, r is the distance between them, and k is Coulomb's constant.

(ii) Using Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between the electron and proton of a hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows:

F = k(Q1Q2/r^2) = (9.0 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1.6 x 10^-19 C)(1.6 x 10^-19 C)/(5.2 x 10^-11 m)^2 = 8.2 x 10^-8 N.

(c) Wood is not suitable for use as the core of transformers because it is not a good conductor of electricity. Transformers require a material with a high magnetic permeability, which allows for efficient transfer of energy between coils. Wood does not have the necessary magnetic properties and can also be damaged by the heat generated during operation.

(d) One application for the cathode ray tube (CRT) is in television and computer displays. A CRT works by producing a beam of electrons that is directed towards a phosphorescent screen, causing it to emit light and create an image. By controlling the path of the electron beam, the image can be manipulated and displayed on the screen. Although CRT technology has largely been replaced by LCD and LED displays, it is still used in some specialized applications such as medical imaging and oscilloscopes.
