COULOMB'S LAW: The force on a charge Q due to a single point charge q is given by Coulombs law

the permittivity of free space

Electric field Intensity: It is force per unit charge when placed in electric field.

A Line Charge: Consider a line charge with uniform charge density extending from A to B along the z-axis. The charge element dQ associated with element dl = dz of the line is

A Surface Charge: Consider an infinite sheet of charge in the xy-plane with uniform charge density . The charge associated with an elemental area dS is

A Volume Charge: Let the volume charge distribution with uniform charge density pv

ELECTRIC FLUX DENSITY:

electric flux per unit area is called Flux density

GAUSS'S LAWMAXWELL'S EQUATION:


Gauss's law states that the total electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by that surface.

By applying divergence theorem to the middle term
