LAS 3- ELECTRIC FLUX, GAUSS’S LAW

Name of Student: _____________________________________ 12 STEM________________

Learning Area – GENERAL PHYSICS 2 Date: ______________________

I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

If the surface is not perpendicular to the field, we consider the angle, Ø, normal to
the surface area. The number of lines that cross the area is equal in and out of the
surface, therefore we can say that,

A’ = A cos Ø

We then conclude that the flux through A is

Activity 1 – Application of Electric Flux and Gauss’s Law

Solve the following word problems. Show complete solutions to your answers.

1. What are the electric field and electric flux of a sphere with a radius of 0.500 m and
carries a charge of +1.00 μC at its center?
2. A long straight wire has a charge per unit length of 3.00 x 10 -12 C/m. At what distance
from the wire is the electric field equal to 0.600 N/C
3. How many excess electrons must be added to an isolated spherical conductor 0.100
meters in diameter to produce an electric field of 1800 N/C just outside the surface?
4. A closed irregular surface encloses a net charge of 1.50 x 10 -6 C. what is the net electric
flux through the surface?
5. What must be the charge of an isolated spherical conductor 30.0 cm in diameter to
produce an electric field of 150 N/C just outside the surface?

VALUING:
GAUSS’S LAW TO CHARGE INSULATORS:

Gauss’s law is useful in determining electric fields when the charge distribution is
characterized by a high degree of symmetry. The following examples demonstrate
ways of choosing the gaussian surface over which the surface integral can be
simplified and the electric field determined. In choosing the surface, we should
always take advantage of the symmetry of the charge distribution so that we can
remove E from the integral and solve for it. The goal in this type of calculation is to
determine a surface that satisfies one or more of the following conditions:

1. The value of the electric field can be argued by symmetry to be


constant over the surface.
2. The dot product can be expressed as a simple algebraic product E dA
because E and dA are parallel.
3. The dot product is zero because E and dA are perpendiculars.
4. The field can be argued to be zero over the surface.
