Electric fields by integration over charge distributions, radial dependences for various geometries. Definitions of flux, closed and open surfaces, area vectors, beginning gauss"s law. Gauss"s law for planar geometry and cylindrical geometry. Problems with non uniform charge distributions (radial dependence in spherical or cylindrical problems). Units, definition, relation to work and potential energy. Voltage of a point charge, voltages in uniform fields, kinematics of charges accelerated. Voltage calculation by summation over point charges. Voltage calculation by integration over charge distributions. Voltage calculation by direct integration of electric field when its known. Inverse operation: calculation of electric field as gradient of voltage. Parallel plate caps, spherical and cylindrical, dependence of c on geometry alone. Dielectrics, definition of dielectric constant and dielectric breakdown strength.
