Points to Remember
Below we have provided some of the important points to remember for NCERT Solutions for Physics Chapter 3 to ace your exam:
A conductor’s current can be measured by its rate of flow of electric charge through its cross-section.
When the area of the cross-section of the conductor is held normal to the direction of the flow of current, the current density at a point in the conductor equals the ratio of current to the area.
In solids, all metals conduct electricity well, and free electrons are responsible for this.
Drift velocity is the average velocity with which free electrons move towards a conductor’s positive end when an external electric field is applied.
Mobility is the ratio between the electron’s drift velocity and the applied electric field.
A temperature coefficient of resistivity measures how much resistivity increases per unit increase in temperature when resistivity increases linearly with temperature.

Few Important Questions
An electric dipole has the magnitude of its charge as q and its dipole moment is p. It is placed in a uniform electric field E. If its dipole moment is along the direction of the field, then what would be the net force acting on it and its potential energy?
If its dipole moment is along the direction of the field, the net force acting on it is zero and its potential energy is minimum.
If E is the electric field intensity of an electrostatic field, then the electrostatic energy density is proportional to?
Electrostatic energy density is proportional to E2.
If a charged body is placed near a neutral conductor, then how it will impact the conductor?
In order to maintain the conductor neutral, an exactly equal amount of opposite charge will appear on the opposite surface of the conductor. Thus attractive forces will dominate and charged body will attract the conductor.
Practice Questions
A spherical conductor has a charge of 4 × 10–8C distributed uniformly on its surface of radius 15 cm. Calculate the electric field just outside the sphere and at a point 15 cm from the center of the sphere.
Find out the capacitance if the distance between the plates is reduced by half and the parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of 20 pF (1pF = 10-12 F) with air between the plates.
What is the total capacitance of the combination Three capacitors each of capacitance 20 pF are connected in series.
