Help Needed: Understanding Electricity & Electrostatic P.D.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the confusion between electrostatic potential difference (p.d.) and electric potential difference. Clarification is sought on how these concepts relate, with emphasis on the term "co-relate." It is noted that "electrostatic potential difference" may not be a useful term, as it essentially equates to electric potential difference in static systems. The distinction is made that electrostatic refers to systems without moving charges. Understanding this relationship is crucial for grasping the concepts of electricity and electrostatics.

i am in total confusion to co-relate p.d of electrostatic and p.d of electricity. can somebody help me out?/

You need to put a bit more thought into your post. What do you mean by "co-relate"?
 


I don't think "electrostatic potential difference" is a useful term. I suppose it means the same thing as electric potential difference as long as you are working with an electrostatic system. Electrostatic means you are working in a system where there are no moving charges.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
