After a week of hard work, I got few hours to dedicate myself to the blog and electrostatics stuff. Today I finished the first section of the Electrostatics chapter (Coulomb’s Law and Electric Field). I spent some more time in order to find a good pdf output format from my LaTeX template.

Now I will start with Gauss Law, and I hope to have news for you within two weeks.

I am also planing to introduce a section about Dirac Delta Function before electrostatics. As a matter of fact, Dirac Delta Function is very important for all electrodynamics (classical or not) and Theoretical Physics in general.

To download the first section of Electrostatics Chapter, click here or go through the Outline page.


Electrostatics

The first subject of our discussion about Classic Electrodynamics is Electrostatics. In science, electrostatics is the branch of physics that describe the phenomena arising from stationary or slowly moving electric charges. More specifically, it describes phenomena arising from time independent distribution of charge and fields.

Historically, electrostatics developed as the science that describes macroscopic observed phenomena. The assumption of point charges and electrical fields, are simply mathematical tools developed in order to study some phenomena at a macroscopic level. You can be curious to know what happen at a microscopic level, but now I will disappoint you, and postpone for later that discussion. If you are curious about that, you should wait until I start with quantum fields or fill free to search about that. There you will probably find the answers to your curiosity. :-)
