Consider the equations below and match each with the option that best describes the equation.
a. Unknown
b. Superposition principle
c. Potential of positive point charge
d. Gauss's Law
Gauss's law in electrostatic states that electric flux through a closed surface is equal to times charge enclosed by the surface.
Mathematically it can be represented as,
...(1)
Where,
The electrostatic potential is defined as the work done by the electrostatic force to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to the given point.
Mathematically potential can be represented as,
...(2)
Where,
Superposition principle states that for linear forces, the total force is the vector sum of individual forces.
The force experienced by the unit positive charge is called the electric field.
Electric field is given by,
...(3)
Where,
For charges total electric field can be written as,
...(4)
