What is It
In the previous lesson, you have learned electric charges and
Coulomb’s Law. In this lesson, you will be introduced to Gauss’s Law
and solve problems involving electric charges, dipoles, forces,
fields, and flux.

Gauss’s Law

Gauss’s Law was formulated by Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-

1855) which is an alternative to Coulomb’s Law. It provides a
different way to express the relationship between electric charge
and electric field.

Gauss’s law states that the total electric flux through a closed
surface, which can be written as the surface integral of the
component of ⃗𝑬 ⃗ normal to the surface, equals a constant times the
total charge 𝑄𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑙 enclosed by the surface. Outward normal
to surface 𝐸┴ 𝜃
𝐸⃗

Gauss’s Law is given by the equation 𝑑𝐴

𝛷𝐸 = ∮ 𝐸𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑑𝐴 𝑟

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ 𝑅
𝛷𝐸 = ∮ 𝐸┴ 𝑑𝐴 = ∮ 𝐸⃗ ∙ 𝑑𝐴
𝑞
𝑄𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑙 Figure 1.1. Gauss’s
𝛷𝐸 = Law Representation

- “it is good to know that there is a derived formula for Gauss’s Law, but it would be
better if you’ll spend some of your free time to learn how it was derived.”

Example 1.1. Suppose the charge q in figure 1.1 has a value

of +6μC, determine; (a.) the electric flux through the closed
spherical surface; and (b.) the electric flux through the closed
non-uniformed surface.

𝑄𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑙
Solution: a. From Gauss’s Law, 𝛷𝐸 =
𝜖0
6𝑥10−6 𝐶
𝛷𝐸 =
8.854𝑥10−12 𝐶 2 /𝑁𝑚2

𝛷𝐸 = 6.78𝑥105 𝑁𝑚2 /𝐶

b. Same as in problem a.

Example 1.2. Electric charge is distributed uniformly along an

infinitely long, thin wire. The charge per unit length is λ
(assumed positive). Find the electric field by using Gauss’s law.

Solution:

The flux at the flat ends of the Gaussian surface is zero because
the radial electric field is parallel to these ends.

On the cylindrical part of the surface:

𝐸┴ = 𝐸 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒

Area on cylindrical surface = 2𝜋𝑟𝑙

Then 𝛷𝐸 = 𝐸 ∙ 𝐴 = 2𝜋𝑟𝑙𝐸

and charge enclosed is 𝑄𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑙 = 𝜆𝑙

𝜆𝑙
So from Gauss Law 𝛷𝐸 = 2𝜋𝑟𝑙𝐸 =
𝜖0

𝜆𝑙 1 𝜆
Thus 𝐸= =

General Physics 2
Third Quarter Electric Potential Energy
Week 2: Lesson 2

Most Essential Learning Competency

In this module, learners will be able to learn to: relate the electric
potential with work, potential energy, and electric field; and
Determine the electric potential function at any point due to highly
symmetric continuous- charge distributions. (STEM_GP12EMIIIb-15,
STEM_GP12EMIIIc-17)

Objectives: At the end of the lesson, learners will be able to:

1. define Electric Potential;
2. relate electric potential with work, potential energy, and
electric field; and
3. determine the electric potential function at any point due
to highly symmetric continuous- charge distributions.

What is It
Electric Potential energy

The electric force caused by any collection of charges at rest

is a conservative force.
The work W done by the electric force on a charged particle
moving in an electric field can be represented by the change in a
potential energy function U.
𝑊𝑎→𝑏 = 𝑈𝑎 − 𝑈𝑏

*recall that W stands for work and U stands for potential energy.

The electric potential energy for two point charges q and q0
depends on their separation r.

1 𝑞𝑞0
𝑈=
4𝜋𝜖0 𝑟

The electric potential energy for a charge q0 in the presence

of a collection of charges q1, q2, q3 depends on the distance from
q0 to each of these other charges.

Electric Potential

Electric Potential, denoted by V, is potential energy per unit

charge. The potential difference between two points equals the
amount of work per charge that would be required to move a
positive test charge between those points.
1 𝑞
𝑉=
4𝜋𝜖0 𝑟

If the charge is a collection of point charges, the potential V

due to a quantity of charge can be calculated by summing or if
the charge is a distribution, potential V can be calculated by
integrating.

𝑞 𝑞 𝑞 𝑑𝑞
𝑉 = 4𝜋𝜖0 ∑𝑖 𝑟𝑖 or 𝑉 = 4𝜋𝜖0 ∫
0 𝑖 0 𝑟

The potential difference between two points a and b, also

called the potential of a with respect to b, is given by the line
integral of 𝐸⃗ . The potential at a given point can be found by first
finding 𝐸⃗ and then carrying out this integral.

Potential difference is measured in joules/coulomb or volt. In

later discussion when applied to circuits, potential differences will
be also termed as voltage.

Finding Electric Field from Electric Potential

If the electric potential V is known as a function of the coordinates

x, y, and z, the components of electric field 𝐸⃗ at any point are
given by a partial derivative of V.

Example 2.1. A point charge 𝑞1 = +2.40𝜇𝐶 is held stationary at the

origin. A second point charge 𝑞2 = −4.30𝜇𝐶 moves from point
A(0.150m, 0m) to point B(0.250m, 0.250m). How much work is done
by the electric force on 𝑞2 ?

Solution: Given 𝑞1 = +2.40𝜇𝐶 𝑞2 = −4.30𝜇𝐶

points A(0.150m, 0m) and B(0.250m, 0.250m)
So distance between charges: (𝑞1 𝑞2 𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝐴)
𝑟𝑎 = √(0.150𝑚 − 0)2 + (0 − 0)2 = 0.150𝑚
(𝑞1 𝑞2 𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝐵)

𝑟𝑏 = √(0.250𝑚 − 0)2 + (0.250𝑚 − 0)2 = 0.354𝑚

1 𝑞1 𝑞2 1 (2.40𝜇𝐶)(−4.30𝜇𝐶)
Find 𝑈𝐴 : 𝑈𝐴 = = = −0.62 𝐽
4𝜋𝜖0 𝑟𝑎 4𝜋(8.854𝑥10−12 𝐶 2 /𝑁𝑚2 ) (0.150𝑚)

1 𝑞1 𝑞2 1 (2.40𝜇𝐶)(−4.30𝜇𝐶)
Find 𝑈𝐵 : 𝑈𝐵 = = = −0.26 𝐽
4𝜋𝜖0 𝑟𝑎 4𝜋(8.854𝑥10−12 𝐶 2 /𝑁𝑚2 ) (0.354𝑚)

14
Then,
𝑊𝑎→𝑏 = 𝑈𝑎 − 𝑈𝑏
𝑊𝑎→𝑏 = −0.62 𝐽 − (−0.26 𝐽)
𝑊𝑎→𝑏 = −0.36 𝐽

or the work done by the electric force on 𝑞2 is 0.36 J opposite to

the direction of the force.

Example 2. Find the potential at a distance r from a very long line

of charge with linear charge density (charge per unit length) λ.

Solution: For a long line of charge, the electric field at a radial

𝜆
distance r, is 𝐸𝑟 = .
