IV. PROCEDURE
A. Introduction

Electric Flux The relationship between electric charge and electric field was also
formulated alternatively in Gauss’s law (Karl Friedrich Gauss 1777-1855). This is
logically equivalent to Coulomb’s law, but this was easier to use in finding electric
field for symmetrical charge distribution. Gauss’s law general statement is expressed
as 𝜙𝐸 = 𝐸𝐴cosƟ where is the electric flux 𝑁𝑚2 𝐶 , E is the magnitude of electric field
expressed in 𝑁 𝐶 , Ɵ is the angle between the normal line of the surface and electric
field lines. and A is the area of a given surface expressed in m2.

B. Development
D. Engagement Example Question #1 : Gauss's Law
An 8m by 8m square-base pyramid of height 4m is placed in a uniform vertical
electric field of strength 35NC. What is the total electric flux that goes through
the pyramid's four faces? (There is no charge inside the pyramid.)
Explanation:

Because there is no charge inside the pyramid, the total flux for the
entire shape must be 0. Since the field is vertical, there must be an
equal but opposite amount of flux from the base of the pyramid as the
faces.

Gauss' Law is

Φ=E⃗ ⋅A⃗

We have both the field strength and the area, so we just multiply them
together. We don't have to worry about cross-products because the
field is hitting the base at a 90o angle.

ϕ=35NC⋅(8m⋅8m)

ϕ=2240N⋅m2C
Example Question #2 : Gauss's Law
You have a cube with a 6μC charge in the center. Each of the cube's sides
is 12cm long. What is the flux through one of the faces of the cube?
ϵ0=8.854⋅10−12
Explanation:

There is nonzero electric flux going through the cube because it

encloses charges, so there's more electric field lines going out than
going in.

Gauss' Law:

Φ=E⃗ ⋅A⃗ =qenclosedϵ0

ϵ0=8.854×10−12

Because we know the amount of charge enclosed and we know

epsilon naught (the permittivity of free space), the area of the cube
and the electric field strength is irrelevant; we can just calculate it with
the charge.

Φ=qenclosedϵ0

ϕ=6⋅10−68.854⋅10−12

ϕ=6.777⋅105

That gives us the total electric flux. What we want is the flux from a
single face. Since there are 6 faces, we can just divide that number by
6 to get our answer. Once we do that, we get 1.13⋅105N⋅m2C.

What is the flux from a 12μC charge inside of a sphere?

ϵo=8.854⋅10−12
Explanation:

A way to visualize flux is the amount of electric field lines leaving a

shape minus the amount entering the shape. If there is no charge
inside a shape, the flux is zero because an equal number of lines are
entering as leaving. In this problem, we have charge inside of the
sphere, so the flux is nonzero. The equation for flux given enclosed
charge is

Φ=Qenclosedϵ0

The amount of charge enclosed is 12μC, so if we divide the charge by

epsilon naught, we get the answer, 1.355⋅106.

A sphere with a uniform volume charge distribution pv=3Cm3 has a

radius of 3m. What is the electric field at point C?
Explanation:

Let's apply Gauss's law to solve this problem. First, we imagine a

Gaussian surface that encompasses the sphere shown. The appropriate
Gaussian surface to select is a sphere due to the symmetry of the
shape. The Gaussian surface has a radius of 7m.

Gauss's law says that the total charge enclosed in a Gaussian surface is
the electric field within the surface times the surface.

Qtotϵ0=E∗A=E(4πr2)

We can use this equation to solve for E, but first we need to calculate
the total charge.

Qtot=4πr2

Qtot=36π

Now, plug this into the original equation.

 36πϵ0=E⋅4πr2

Here, r is the radius of the Gaussian surface

E=36πϵ0⋅4π(7)2

E=6.61π⋅109

E. Assimilation Appendix A Sample problem solved using (a differential version of) Coulomb’s Law.
Due to symmetry the net magnitude of electric field along the x direction is zero.

Appendix B Sample problem as in Appendix A solved using Gauss’ Law

 Appendix C Sample problem solved using Coulomb’s Law

F. EVALUATION Determine the electric field of different charge configurations. The following are
sample charge configurations to consider:
 • single point

• three point charges of different signs (polarities) forming the vertices of a right
triangle

• dielectric sphere (inside and outside) assuming uniform electric charge

• conducting sphere (inside and outside)

• infinite line of uniform charge

• three parallel infinite line charges of different signs (polarities) lying on the same
plane • single or multiple plane charges

• bulk dielectric cylinder (inside and outside)

V. ASSIGNMENT Study the following:

1. Imagine a spherical conducting shell of inner radius a and outer radius b. If

there exists a point charge of 5Q at a radius of less than a (it sits within the void
inside the conducting shell), and the total charge of the conducting shell is 3Q,
what is the magnitude of the charge on the outer surface of the shell?
2. A sphere of radius 5cm contains a charge of 66nC, calculate the electric flux.
3. A charge is placed inside of a metal sphere with radius .
Determine the electric field at the surface of the sphere.
4. etermine the electric field on the surface of a sphere of radius
if are contained within.
