Electrostatics Study Notes Part 2 for Electrical Engineering

In this article, you will find the Study Notes on Electrostatics Part 2 which will cover the topics such as Introduction to Gauss’s law for a conductor and example on Gauss’s Law Applications and Divergence of the flux density, electric field and potential.

• The total of the electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity.
• Total electric flux y through any closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by that surface.
• Gauss’s Law helps us understand the behaviour of electric fields inside the conductors.
• The Gauss law also helps us understand the distribution of electric charge placed on a conductor.
• The area integral of the electric field over any closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed in the surface divided by the permittivity of space.
• Gauss’ law is a form of one of Maxwell’s equations.
