Short Explanations- Electrostatics

Coulombs law is Inverse square law Since force is a vector the principle of superposition involves vector addition Electric field is actually the stress experienced on the point by an electric charge, it is the force experienced on a unit positive charge placed at that point. F=qE Unit of electric field is N/C Electric field is known by other terms such as flux density and intensity of electric field it also have an inverse square relation with distance  Electric field lines never passes through a metal so inside the conductor the electric field E=0 Electric field can be considered as the negative potential gradient E=-dV/dr By Gauss theorem E.A=q/epsilon not there fore E=q /A  X epsilon not

Parsec : A unit of distance It is used for measuring distances of long range ie the distance between planets, diameter of distant galaxies etc. One   parsec   is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond In the figure OB is one parsec AB= 1 astronomical unit ∟AOB= 1 second  Tan(1’’)=AB/OB OB=AB / tan(1”)=1 AU/1’’=206264.81 AU
