- [Charges and Coulomb's Law](https://www.hlayiso.com/grade-11/technical-sciences/notes/electrostatics/charges-and-coulombs-law) — Charges and Coulomb's Law Electrostatics is the branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charges. From the operation of photocopiers and…
- [Electric Fields and Electric Field Lines](https://www.hlayiso.com/grade-11/technical-sciences/notes/electrostatics/electric-fields-and-electric-field-lines) — Electric Fields and Electric Field Lines In the previous section, we studied the electrostatic force between charges using Coulomb's law. But how does a charge 'know' that another charge exists…
- [Electric Field Between Parallel Plates](https://www.hlayiso.com/grade-11/technical-sciences/notes/electrostatics/electric-field-between-parallel-plates) — Electric Field Between Parallel Plates In previous sections, we explored the electric fields around individual point charges — these fields are non-uniform, meaning they get weaker as you move…
