Electrostatics Mcqs

Our collections of Multiple choice questions and answers focuses on study of Electrostatics in Physics. These questions are chosen from a collection of most authoritative and best reference books on Physics. Our aim is to prepare an individual for competitive exams like NTS, GAT, ECAT, MDCAT, Teaching jobs Tests and Chemical industry job interviews. One should practice our Mcqs to assimilate knowledge on Electrostatics in Physics comprehensively.
