A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

ELECTROSTATICS

Electrostatics is the study of electric charges at rest, the forces they exert, and the electric fields and potentials they create. For exams, you must master Coulomb’s law, electric field strength, electric potential, capacitance, and the behaviour of conductors and dielectrics, because these ideas form the foundation for later work in electromagnetism.
