Electric Field Intensity Due to Point Charge

E =

V/m or N/C
E due to n point Charges
E due to Continuous Volume Charge Distribution
E due to Finite Line Charge Distribution

Eqn 1

In Cylindrical Coordinate system

Eqn 2
 Substituting 2 in 1

Eqn 3

Substituting this in 3
E due to Infinite Line Charge Distribution
E due to Continuous Surface Charge Distribution
Electric Flux

Ψ=Q
 Electric Flux Density (D)
The electric flux per unit area. Unit=C/m2

Referring Faraday’s Experiment

Ψ= ∫s D.dS D=εoE
 Gauss’s Law
The total electric flux through any closed surface
is equal to the total charge enclosed by that surface
Ψ= Qenc
