A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Electrostatics and Coulomb's law

Electrostatics studies electric charges at rest, the forces they exert, and the electric fields they produce. For this topic, you must master the nature of charge, the inverse-square form of Coulomb's law, and how forces combine by superposition, because these are the foundation of nearly every exam question on static electricity.
