How you can determine the amount of
charge within a closed surface by
examining the electric field on the
surface!
What is meant by electric flux and how you
can calculate it.
How to use Gausss Law to calculate the
electric field due to a symmetric
distribution of charges.
A charge inside a box can be probed with a
test charge qo to measure E field
outside the box.
The volume (V) flow rate
(dV/dt) of fluid through the
wire rectangle (a) is vA when
the area of the rectangle is
perpendicular to the velocity
vector v and (b) is vA cos
when the rectangle is tilted
at an angle .
We will next replace the
fluid velocity flow vector v
with the electric field vector
E to get to the concept of
electric flux E.
