Gauss’s Law

20
Gauss’s Law
• Electric Flux
• Charge Distribution
• Relationship between field lines and charge

21
Electric Flux
• E varies with density of lines
• Flux is #lines crossing a specific area
• Flux and “Flow”
• Symbol 
• Units: N·m2/C
• Product of Field and Area
• Can be + or -

22
Electric Flux (cont.)
• Flux + when leaving a closed surface
• Flux - when entering a closed surface

23
Electric Flux (cont.)
• Notice that there is no charge inside
• and, Net Flux is zero

24
Case where E is spatially uniform:
•  = E·A (E factored out of integral)
•  = +EA (E parallel to A)
•  = -EA (E anti-parallel to A)

25
Flux through both surfaces is identical

26
Flux and Charge
• Amount and sign of a charge can be
determined by

(#lines leaving) – (#lines entering)

27
(#lines leaving) – (#lines entering) = 0
net charge enclosed is zero

28
net 8 lines leaving = net +q enclosed (with 8 lines per q)

29

30
•Net Flux not dependent on shape of enclosing surface or
any charges outside the enclosure
•Net Flux does depend on amount of charge inside enclosure

32
Cylindrical can enclosing part of an “infinite” plane of Q.

Plane of Charge cont.
Net flux = EA + EA + 0 = 2EA == 4kq
E = 4kq/2A = 2k(q/A) = 2k.

Spherical Shell

• cosine = 1 (symmetry)
•  = EA = Q/o
• E = Q/oA
• A = 4r2.

Charge and Field at
Conductor Surfaces

43
E on Conductor
• at surface E = /o
• E normal (perpendicular) to surface
• E is zero inside (with static charges)

44
+Point Q inside Shell
• shell = neutral conductor
• -/+ induced on shell
• E ~ same as for
lone +pt Q.

45
Charge Distribution  Field Shape

46
Summary
• E obtained by sum of effect of all
charges
• charges can be point (ch21) or
‘continuous’ (ch22)
• E can also be obtained by use of
Gauss’s Law for E, where concept of E
flux is used.
