ELECTROSTATICS

GAUSS LAW

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

COULOMB'S LAW

The net number of field lines through the surface is proportional to the charge enclosed,and also to the flux

E.dA=Qencl/e0

Gaussian surface

can be any shape you wish to make it,but most useful surface is one that mimics the symmetry of the problem at hand

often be a sphere,cylinder or some other symmetrical form

always be a closed surface

The electric force between two charges is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them

F=kQ1Q2/r^2

Unit of charge: coulomb,C
k=8.99X10^9 N-m^2/C^2
1uC=106-6 C
e=1.602X10^-19 C

-Coulomb's Law describs the force between 2 charges when they are at rest
-Coulomb's law gives the electrostatic force

The electric potential at a distance r from a single point charge Q can be derived from the expression for its electric field( EkQ/r^2 )

V=kQ/r

The potential V decreases with the first power of distance,whereas the electric field decrease as the square of the distance
