Electrostatics in charged colloidal systems

In this work we present a study of the electrostatics applied to colloidal systems whose purpose is to provide undergraduate and postgraduate students in Physics with a broader view of the concepts studied in the classroom by direct application of the theory. To do so, we used a model of a colloidal system from which we derive the expressions for the Electric Force, Field and Potential, both for discrete and continuous charge distributions. We also find equivalent equations for the Gauss's Law, both in integral and differential forms.
