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…

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…
