1. Electrostatics<br />

What is Electrostatics?<br />

Electrostatics is the study <strong>of</strong> time-independent distributions <strong>of</strong> charges <strong>and</strong> <strong>fields</strong>.<br />

It is a branch <strong>of</strong> science that deals with the phenomena arising from stationary or<br />

slow-moving <strong>electric</strong> charges.Electrostatic phenomena arise from the forces that <strong>electric</strong><br />

charges exert on each other. 2<br />

Electrostatics contains some problems like properties analyzing in capacitors <strong>and</strong> in some<br />

containers. No current is involved in Electrostatics.<br />

1.1 Cable 1<br />

Assume we have a perfect concentric copper cable. At inner cable a voltage <strong>of</strong> 130kV<br />

(compare to the ground) is applied. (relative permittivity <strong>of</strong> copper εr≈ 1)<br />

Layer 1 Layer 2<br />

εr 3 2<br />

Table 1-1 Values <strong>of</strong> the relative permittivityεr<br />

We will analyze the curve E=f(r) <strong>of</strong> this cable <strong>and</strong> draw a plot <strong>of</strong> E=f(r).<br />
