III.A 3, Gauss’ Law
![Page 2: III.A 3, Gauss’ Law. Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating electric flux.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b64670/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
We have used Coulomb’s Law (the governing law in electrostatics, in case you didn’t know) to derive ,
the electric field of a point charge. However, it the charge is distributed over a plane, cylinder or sphere, we
will need another method.

Flux – rate of flow through an area. Could be fluid flow, magnetic field
lines or, our current interest, electric field lines. By definition, . (N·m2/C)

Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating
electric flux.

Gauss’ Law relates the electric fields at points on a surface (a Gaussian surface) to the net
charge enclosed by that surface
![Page 7: III.A 3, Gauss’ Law. Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating electric flux.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b64670/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ex. Find the electric flux through a Guassian sphere about a point charge.

So, Gauss’ Law is
![Page 9: III.A 3, Gauss’ Law. Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating electric flux.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b64670/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Gauss Law as shown is only true when the charge is in a vacuum. Include the
sign of the charge since it gives the direction of the electric flux. If q is
positive, the net flux is outward. If q is negative, the net flux is inward.

Ex. For a uniformly charge conducting spherical shell of inner radius a and outer radius b, find the electric field for a Gaussian surface where r < a, a < r < b, and r > b. Graph E vs. r for the shell.

![Page 15: III.A 3, Gauss’ Law. Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating electric flux.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b64670/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Ex. A non-conducting sphere or radius R has a non-uniform charged density described by the function where ρO and a are constants. Find the electric field when r < R and r ≥ R. Graph E vs. r for the sphere.

Charged isolated conductor
1. If excess charge is placed on an isolated conductor, all the excess charge will move to the surface of the conductor. Therefore, E inside this conductor is zero.
2. Conductor with a cavity. Excess charge resides on the surface and E inside the conductor is zero.
3. A shell of uniform charge attracts or repels a charged particle outside the sphere as if the charge were concentrated at the center of the sphere.

A derivation
![Page 22: III.A 3, Gauss’ Law. Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating electric flux.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b64670/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So, you (maybe) can see capacitance measures the capacity for: holding charge; storing electrical potential energy; or storing an electric field.
Capacitance depends upon the geometry of the capacitor
![Page 23: III.A 3, Gauss’ Law. Four algebraic examples and one calculus example for calculating electric flux.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b64670/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ex. A 10-nF parallel-plate capacitor holds a charge of magnitude 50 μC on each plate. a) What is the potential difference between the plates? b) If the plates are separated by a distance of 0.2 mm, what is the area of each plate?
