throughout space.
• Now imagine a particle with chargea particle with charge qq is placed in that
field. The particle interacts with the electric field so that
the particle experiences an electric force given by:
Example

kg is located in
the air near the ground during a stormy day. An
atmospheric electric field of magnitude 6 x 103
N/C points vertically downward in the vicinity of
the water droplet. The droplet remains
suspended at rest in the air. What is the electric
charge on the droplet?
Solution
• Newton’s 2nd law from the particle in equilibrium model in the

Electric Flux
• Consider an electric field that is uniform in both magnitude
and direction. The number of lines per unit area (thethe lineline
densitydensity) is proportional to the magnitude of the electric
field.
• Therefore, the total number of lines penetrating the surface
is proportional to the product EA. This product is called the
electric flux:
ΦΦEE is electric fluxis electric flux that has units of newton-newton-
meters squared per coulomb (meters squared per coulomb (N.mN.m22
/C/C)).
ΦE is proportional to the number of electric
field lines penetrating some surface.
Electric Flux
• If the surface is not perpendicular to the
field, the flux through it must be less.

surface of area A is at an angle θ to the
uniform electric field.

different directions for the various
surface elements, but for each
element they are normal to the
surface and point outward.
• The net flux through the surface is
proportional to the net number of
lines leaving the surface.

direction in empty space. A cube of edge length l, is
placed in the field, oriented as shown in Figure 24.5. Find
the net electric flux through the surface of the cube.
Solution
• The flux through four of the faces ((3), (4), and the
unnumbered faces) is zero because E is parallel to the

Gauss’s Law
• Gauss’s law is a general relationship between the net electricnet electric
flux through a closed surfaceflux through a closed surface (often called a gaussian surface)
and the charge enclosed by the surfaceand the charge enclosed by the surface.
• Consider a positive charge q located at the center of a sphere
of radius r.
• The net flux through the gaussian surface is
where:where:
The flux is independent of the radius r. It depends only on the charge q
enclosed by the sphere.
Gauss’s Law
• Consider several closed surfaces surrounding a charge q as
shown in Figure 24.7.
• Surface S1 is spherical, but surfaces S2 and S3 are not.
• The number of lines through S1 = the number of lines
through the nonspherical surfaces S2 and S3.

that surface.that surface.
Gauss’s Law
• Consider a point charge located
outside a closed surface of arbitrary
shape.
• The number of electric field lines
entering the surface equals the
number leaving the surface.
• Therefore, the net electric fluxthe net electric flux

surrounds no charge is zerosurrounds no charge is zero.
Gauss’s Law
• Let’s see two generalized cases: (1) that of many point
charges and (2) that of a continuous distribution of charge.
• The electric field due to many charges
is the vector sum of the electric fields
produced by the individual charges.
• The electric flux through any closed
surface can be expressed as:
Gauss’s Law
• The mathematical form of Gauss’s law states
that the net flux through any closed surface is:
where E is the electric field and qin is
the net charge inside the surface.
The surface S surrounds only one charge, q1; hence,
the net flux through S is q1/ε0. The flux through S due
to charges q2, q3, and q4 outside it is zero because
each electric field line from these charges that enters
S at one point leaves it at another.

Application of Gauss’s law to
various charge distributions
• Gauss’s law is useful for determining electric fields when the
charge distribution is highly symmetric.
• The following examples demonstrate ways of choosing the
gaussian surface.
• To determine which portion of the surface satisfies one or
more of the following conditionsconditions:
1. The value of the electric field can be argued by symmetry to
be constant over the portion of the surface.
2. The dot product in Equation 24.6 can be expressed as a
simple algebraic product E dA because E and dA are parallel.
3. The dot product in Equation 24.6 is zero because E and dA are
perpendicular.
4. The electric field is zero over the portion of the surface.

density ρ and carries a total positive charge Q (Fig. 24.10).
• (A) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point outside the
sphere.
• (B) Find the magnitude of the
electric field at a point inside the
sphere.
• What If? Suppose the radial position
r = a is approached from inside the
sphere and from outside. Do we
obtain the same value of the electric
field from both directions?

• To reflect the spherical symmetry, let’s choose a spherical
gaussian surface of radius r, concentric with the sphere, as
shown in Figure 24.10a. For this choice, condition (2) is
satisfied everywhere on the surface and E . dA = E dA.
• By symmetry, E has the same value everywhere on the
surface, which satisfies condition (1), so we can remove E
from the integral:
• Solve for E:
Solution (B) –
Find the magnitude of the electric field at a point inside the sphereFind the magnitude of the electric field at a point inside the sphere
• Let’s choose a spherical gaussian surface having radius r < a. Let
V’ is the volume of smaller sphere. The charge q in within the
gaussian surface of volume V’ is less than Q.
• Calculate qin:
• Apply Gauss’s law in the region r < a:
What If? –
Suppose the radial position r = a is approached from inside and
outside.
Answer
•Equation (1) shows that the electric field approaches a value
from the outside given by
•From the inside, Equation (2) gives
Therefore, the value of the field is the same asthe value of the field is the same as
the surface is approached from both directionsthe surface is approached from both directions.
A plot of E versus r is shown in Figure 24.11.
Notice that the magnitude of the field is
continuous.
Example: A Cylindrically Symmetric Charge
Distribution
• Find the electric field a distance r from a line of positive
charge of infinite length and constant charge per unit
length λ (Fig. 24.12a).
• Let’s choose a cylindrical gaussian surface of radius r and
length l, that is coaxial with the line charge.
• The flux through the ends of the gaussian cylinder is zero
because E is parallel to these surfaces.
• Noting that the total charge inside gaussian surface: qin = λl,
then
Solution
What If?
• What if the line segment in this example were not infinitely long?
Answer
• If the line charge in this example were of finite length, the electric field
would not be given by Equation 24.7not be given by Equation 24.7. A finite line charge does not
possess sufficient symmetry to make use of Gauss’s law because the
magnitude of the electric field is no longer constant over the surface of
the gaussian cylinder: the field near the ends of the line would be
different from that far from the ends. Therefore, condition (1) would
not be satisfied in this situation.
• Furthermore, E is not perpendicular to the cylindrical surface at all
points: the field vectors near the ends would have a component
parallel to the line. Therefore, condition (2) would not be satisfied.
• For points close to a finite line charge and far from the ends, Equation
24.7 gives a good approximation of the value of the field.
Example: A Plane of Charge
• Find the electric field due to an infinite plane of positive
charge with uniform surface charge density σ.
Solution
• Notice that the plane of charge is infinitely large. Therefore, the electricthe electric
field should be the same at all points equidistant from the planefield should be the same at all points equidistant from the plane.
• The flux through each end of the cylinder is EA; hence, the total flux
through the entire gaussian surface is just that through the ends,
ΦE = 2EA
Noting that the enclosed charge is qin = σA:
• Solve for E:
We conclude that E = σ/2ε0 at any distance from the plane.
The field is uniform everywhere.
Figure 24.14 shows this uniform field due to an infinite
plane of charge, seen edge-on.
What If?
• Suppose two infinite planes of charge are parallel to each other, one
positively charged and the other negatively charged. The surface charge
densities of both planes are of the same magnitude. What does the
electric field look like in this situation?
Answer
It first addressed in the What If? section of
Example 23.9 (but not in the syllabus).
The electric fields due to the two planes add in
the region between the planes, resulting in a
uniform field of magnitude, E = σ/ε0.
Figure 24.15 shows the field lines for such a
configuration. This method is a practical way to
achieve uniform electric fields with finite-sized
planes placed close to each other.

• Although the most common situation is that of two
conductors, a single conductor also has a
capacitance.
• For a single sphericalsingle spherical charged conductor, the
potential of the sphere of radius a is V = keQ/a, and
setting V = 0 for the infinitely large shell (infinite
radius), then
Parallel-Plate Capacitors
• Two parallel, metallic plates of equal area A
are separated by a distance d as shown in
Figure.
• One plate carries a charge +Q , and the
other carries a charge -Q. The surfacesurface
charge densitycharge density on each plate is σ = Q/A.
• The capacitance is

  • 26. Example • A water droplet of mass 3 x 10-12 kg is located in the air near the ground during a stormy day. An atmospheric electric field of magnitude 6 x 103 N/C points vertically downward in the vicinity of the water droplet. The droplet remains suspended at rest in the air. What is the electric charge on the droplet?
  • 27. Solution • Newton’s 2nd law from the particle in equilibrium model in the vertical direction: • Using the two particle in a field models, substitute for the forces, the vertical component of the electric field is negative: • Solve for the charge on the water droplet: Fe Fg E The problem claims that the electric fieldelectric field is in the downward direction.

(C) Find the electric field due to the electric dipole when point P is a distance y >> a from the origin.
  • 31. Electric Flux • Consider an electric field that is uniform in both magnitude and direction. The number of lines per unit area (thethe lineline densitydensity) is proportional to the magnitude of the electric field. • Therefore, the total number of lines penetrating the surface is proportional to the product EA. This product is called the electric flux: ΦΦEE is electric fluxis electric flux that has units of newton-newton- meters squared per coulomb (meters squared per coulomb (N.mN.m22 /C/C)). ΦE is proportional to the number of electric field lines penetrating some surface.

For this choice, condition (2) is satisfied everywhere on the surface and E . dA = E dA. • By symmetry, E has the same value everywhere on the surface, which satisfies condition (1), so we can remove E from the integral: • Solve for E:

  • 55. Example: A Cylindrically Symmetric Charge Distribution • Find the electric field a distance r from a line of positive charge of infinite length and constant charge per unit length λ (Fig. 24.12a).
  • 56. • Let’s choose a cylindrical gaussian surface of radius r and length l, that is coaxial with the line charge. • The flux through the ends of the gaussian cylinder is zero because E is parallel to these surfaces. • Noting that the total charge inside gaussian surface: qin = λl, then Solution
  • 57. What If? • What if the line segment in this example were not infinitely long? Answer • If the line charge in this example were of finite length, the electric field would not be given by Equation 24.7not be given by Equation 24.7. A finite line charge does not possess sufficient symmetry to make use of Gauss’s law because the magnitude of the electric field is no longer constant over the surface of the gaussian cylinder: the field near the ends of the line would be different from that far from the ends. Therefore, condition (1) would not be satisfied in this situation. • Furthermore, E is not perpendicular to the cylindrical surface at all points: the field vectors near the ends would have a component parallel to the line. Therefore, condition (2) would not be satisfied. • For points close to a finite line charge and far from the ends, Equation 24.7 gives a good approximation of the value of the field.
  • 58. Example: A Plane of Charge • Find the electric field due to an infinite plane of positive charge with uniform surface charge density σ.
  • 59. Solution • Notice that the plane of charge is infinitely large. Therefore, the electricthe electric field should be the same at all points equidistant from the planefield should be the same at all points equidistant from the plane. • The flux through each end of the cylinder is EA; hence, the total flux through the entire gaussian surface is just that through the ends, ΦE = 2EA Noting that the enclosed charge is qin = σA: • Solve for E: We conclude that E = σ/2ε0 at any distance from the plane. The field is uniform everywhere. Figure 24.14 shows this uniform field due to an infinite plane of charge, seen edge-on.
  • 60. What If? • Suppose two infinite planes of charge are parallel to each other, one positively charged and the other negatively charged. The surface charge densities of both planes are of the same magnitude. What does the electric field look like in this situation? Answer It first addressed in the What If? section of Example 23.9 (but not in the syllabus). The electric fields due to the two planes add in the region between the planes, resulting in a uniform field of magnitude, E = σ/ε0. Figure 24.15 shows the field lines for such a configuration. This method is a practical way to achieve uniform electric fields with finite-sized planes placed close to each other.
