Gauss’s Law

Gauss’s Law is applicable for any given charge distribution.

It can be used to
1. calculate the electric field if the charge distribution is
provided, and

3
Gauss’s Law

Gauss’s Law is applicable for any given charge distribution.

It can be used to
1. calculate the electric field if the charge distribution is
provided, and
2. calculate the charge distribution if the magnitude of
the electric field is given.

4
Gauss’s Law

Gauss’s Law postulates that the total electric flux passing


through a closed surface is considered zero unless the
volume enclosed by this surface contains a net charge.

Tip
If the electric
field is PARALLEL
to the surface
area, the electric
flux is

If the electric field


is PERPENDICUALR
to the surface area,
the electric flux is
0.

Electric flux is
directly proportional
to the electric field
penetrating some
surface

What if the
surface is NOT
perpendicular
to the surface ?

An electric charge with an electric field of 150 N/C
struck a spherical body with a diameter of 4m at an
angle of 45 degree. Compute the total flux.

A uniform electric field with a magnitude of E=400 N/C incident on a plane
with a surface of area A=10m2 and makes an angle of θ=30∘ with it. Find the
electric flux through this surface?
