Apr 24, 2025

NEET 2025 Intensive Batch: Electric Charges and Fields

Introduction

  • Speaker: Tanuj Bansal
  • Objective: Preparation for NEET 2025
  • Main Topic: Electric Charges and Fields
  • Schedule: 11th and 12th Physics
  • Notes: Available in PDF

Importance of 12th Grade Physics

  • Higher weightage of 12th Grade Physics in NEET
  • 12th Physics Weightage: 60%, 11th Weightage: 40%
  • Basic Math from 11th covering vectors and other concepts
  • Includes JEE Mains level questions

Types and Properties of Charges

  • Types: Positive Charge, Negative Charge, Neutral
  • Properties:
    • Like charges repel
    • Unlike charges attract
    • Charge is additive
    • Charge is invariant and mass variant
    • One-sided love principle: mass can exist without charge, charge cannot exist without mass

Properties of Charge

  • Invariant: Not affected by speed
  • Conservation: Charge conserved in an isolated system
  • Quantization: Integer multiple of electronic charge

Electric Field

  • Definition: The region around a charge where its effect is felt
  • Analogy: Compared to the effect of a lion
  • Formula: E = F/qₒ = kQ/r²
  • Properties: Field lines are outward due to positive charge, inward due to negative charge

Electric Field Lines

  • Definition: Start from positive charge and end on negative charge
  • Properties:
    • Do not form closed loops
    • Density is proportional to magnitude
    • Are parallel in a uniform field

Coulomb's Law

  • Formula: F = k * (q₁*q₂/r²)
  • Properties:
    • Follows Newton's third law
    • Force acts along the line joining two charges
    • Follows inverse square law

Methods of Charging

  • Friction: For insulators
  • Conduction: For conductors
  • Induction: Charging without touching

Superposition Principle

  • Vector Addition: Vector addition of forces
  • Independence: Force between two charges is independent of a third charge

Motion of Particles in Electric Field

  • Along the Field: Straight line motion
  • Perpendicular to the Field: Parabolic path

Electric Sphere and Shell

  • Hollow Sphere: No charge inside
  • Conducting Sphere: All charge outside
  • Non-conducting Sphere: Charge inside
  • Gauss's Law: Flux depends on the charge inside closed surface

Notes and Material Access

  • PW App: Notes, PDFs, and DPP available
  • Short Notes: TBS capsules at the end of the lecture

Conclusion

  • Practice: Regular practice and problem-solving necessary
  • Preparation: Ensure comprehensive preparation for NEET
