What is electrostatics?

Electrostatics stands for static electricity involving study of charges at rest. These charges are developed on insulators when they are rubbed against each other. The charges are produced due to actual transfer of electrons.
Electrostatics

Quantization and Conservation of charge

1) Quantization of charge
a) Electronic charge can exist only as an integral multiple of charge on an electron(-e).
b) The possible value of electric charge are q= +1e, -1e, +2e, -2e, +3e, -3e .
c) Charge less than the charge on an electron is not possible.

2) Conservation of charge
a) On an isolated system, total electric charge always remains constant.
b) Total charge on a body is equal to the algebraic sum of all the charges present on it. Every atom is electrically neutral as it contains as many electrons as the number of protons in it.
c) When we rub a glass rod with a piece of silk, the positive charge acquire by the glass rod is equal to negative charge acquired by the silk price. Thus charges are produced in equal and unlike pairs.

An electric line of force

An electric line of force is a path, straight or curved, such that tangent to the path at any point gives us the direction of electric field intensity at that point. No two electric lines of force can intersect each other.

An equipotential surface

An equipotential surface is that at every point of which electric potential is the same. Some of important properties of equipotential surface are:
1) Electric lines of force are always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.
2) Work done in carrying an electric charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is zero.
3) The component of electric intensity along an equipotential surface is zero.
4) Two equipotential surfaces can never intersect one another.
For Example:
a) The shape of equipotential surface for a point charge; charged spherical conductor and charged spherical non-conductor is spherical.
b) For an electric dipole, equipotential surface is plane.
c) For an infinite linear charge distribution, equipotential surface is cylindrical.
d) For an infinite sheet of charge, equipotential surface is a plane parallel to the sheet.

Electronic Flux

Electronic Flux over an area in an electric field represents the total number of electric field lines crossing this area normally. It is represented by E . Electric flux is scalar quantity.

Biography of Manohar Joshi

By
Biography of Manohar Joshi: Manohar Gajanan Joshi is an Indian politician who has played a significant role in Maharashtra state politics. Born on December 2, 1937, in a middle-class family in a village called Ganeshpeth in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra, Joshi's journey into politics was marked by his association with the Shiv Sena, a right-wing regional political party in India. Joshi's political career began in the late 1960s when he joined the Shiv Sena, which was then led by its founder, Bal Thackeray. He quickly rose through the ranks of the party due to his organizational skills, dedication, and ideological alignment with the party's principles, which advocated for the interests of the Marathi-speaking population of Maharashtra. In 1972, Manohar Joshi won his first election to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), marking the beginning of his electoral career. He served as a corporator in the BMC and later became the Mayor of Mumbai in 1976. Joshi's tenu...

By
Professor Cheiro Prophecies:  Here is Kiro made these amazing predictions for India: Professor Kiro was born in November 1866 in England. At the age of 17, Kiro came to Mumbai and met astrologer Vednarayan Joshi. With his advice, he will reach the Himalayas, Kashmir, Ladakh and Varanasi. From here, he studied astrology extensively. Kiro made many predictions in his life, which we are giving you here. Cheiro, whose real name was William John Warner, was a prominent Irish astrologer and palmist who gained fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was known for his accurate predictions and was consulted by various prominent figures of his time, including Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and Thomas Edison. Cheiro also made some predictions related to India. Parada Kahanee One of his notable predictions about India was made in his book "Cheiro's World Predictions," published in 1926. In this book, he wrote about the possibility of India gaining independence from British...
