  • Application of Gauss Law – Cylindrical and Planar Symmetry, Lecture-2

    Application of Gauss Law – Cylindrical and Planar Symmetry, Lecture-2

    An infinitely long rod of negligible radius has a uniform (linear) charge density of λ. Calculate the electric field at a distance r from the wire. An infinitely long rod possesses cylindrical symmetry. Electric field E must be radially outwards from axis of symmetry of the rod, — for +ve charge. Consider a Gaussian surface…

  • Electric Field and Gauss Law, Lecture 1

    Electric Field and Gauss Law, Lecture 1

    Electric field is the amount of Coulomb’s force, that a positive charge of 1 unit experiences at a given position. Its a vector in the same direction as that of the electric force. We will discuss the time independent electric field which is also known as the static field. Advantage over electric force: Coulomb’s force…
