Application of Gauss Law, Spherical Symmetry, Lecture-3
In our last two lectures we laid a good foundation about the concepts of electric field, lines of force, flux and Gauss Law. They can be found here; EML1 and EML2. In the last one we discussed how to apply Gauss Law to find the electric field if cylindrical or planar symmetries are present in…

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…
