Mindmap on Static Electricity By Harith Bahren

1. Laws of Electrostatics

1.1. 2 Types of electric Charge

1.2. Positive and Negative charge

1.3. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract

2. Principles of Electrostatics

2.1. Charging by Rubbing

2.1.1. The atom that loses an electron is now a positive ion, and the atom that receives an electron is a negative ion

2.2. Charging by Induction

2.2.1. Equal amounts of opposite charge

3. Electric Field

3.1. A region in which an electric charge experiences a force

3.2. An electric field line is the path a positive charge would take if its free to move

3.3. The line must begin from positive charges and end on negative charges

3.3.1. The number of lines drawn leaving a positive charge or ending on a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge

3.3.1.1. No two field lines can cross each other
