PhysicsJEE/NEETElectrostatics: the misconceptions that cost marks
3 wrong ideas students commonly carry in Electrostatics. Each page has a one-question check and a careful explanation of what's actually true.
- If the electric field is zero, is the potential zero too?Myth: Where the electric field is zero, the potential must also be zero.
- Does a charge always move along an electric field line?Myth: A charge released in a field always moves along the field line.
- Does a capacitor's capacitance depend on the charge stored?Myth: A capacitor's capacitance depends on the charge stored on it.
