Physics Project: Electrostatics in Everyday Life

1. Introduction to Electrostatics

Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with stationary or slow-moving electric charges. It plays a

key role in many natural phenomena and practical applications in our everyday life.

2. Coulomb's Law in Daily Context

Coulomb's Law explains the force between two electric charges. In everyday life, we see its effect when small

particles like dust are attracted to screens or when our hair stands up after rubbing a balloon.

3. Electric Field and Electric Potential in the Real World

Electric fields and potentials help explain how charges interact in space. These principles are used in devices

like air purifiers and photocopiers to control the movement of charged particles.

4. Electrostatic Induction ' Natural and Technological Uses

Electrostatic induction is the process by which a nearby charge can cause redistribution of charges in an

object. This is used in technology such as laser printers and also occurs naturally in thunderstorms.

5. Role of Electrostatics in Medical Equipment

Electrostatics is applied in X-ray imaging, electrostatic air purifiers, and sterilization equipment. These

applications are crucial in ensuring hygiene and accuracy in medical environments.

6. Case Study: Bhopal Gas Tragedy & Use of Electrostatic Filters

The Bhopal Gas Tragedy highlighted the importance of safety in industrial gas handling. Electrostatic filters

can be used in factories to prevent the escape of harmful gases and particles, improving industrial safety.
