1. A reminder of electrostatics

It is not our ambition to give a complete course in electrostatics (see [Doc. D 1 036] for general works and [1] ). We simply recall the fundamental quantities, the important characteristics of media, and the laws of electrostatics that will be indispensable to us.

1.1 Fundamental quantities

For this reminder, we'll assume that we're operating in a vacuum.

History

The earliest known description of static electricity is due to Thales of Miletus, the oldest and best-known of the Seven Wise Men of Greece. Most famous for his work in geometry and...
