Gauss’s Law

Gauss’s Law

1. Particle Dynamics in the Presence of Electric Fields

   • If the electric field magnitude is big, then it means that there are many field lines passing through the surface of the box. The electric field lines passing through a surface area are called electric flux.
     • Electric Flux
       • To calculate the electric flux using the magnitude of the electric field and area we can do it with the following equation: EACos0

2. Gauss’s law states that

   • The total electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the total (net) electric charge enclosed by the surface, divided by
     • Linear charge density
     • Surface charge density
     • Volume charge density
