Chapter 24: Gauss' Law

What is meant by electric flux?

What is Gauss' law?

How can Gauss' law be used to calculate the electric field of a point charge?

What can you learn about the electric field inside an isolated conductor from Gauss' law?

Show how to use Gauss' law to calculate the electric field near a charged conducting surface.

Show how to use Gauss' law to calculate the electric field:

  • Near a non-conducting sheet of charge
  • Around an infinite line charge
  • Between oppositely charged conducting plates
  • Outside and inside a conducting sphere
  • Outside and inside a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere
