Document Summary

Coulomb"s law: electric fields for continuous charge distributions (line charge, surface charge and volume charge) Fig 1 coulomb vector field at p for point charge q. The electric field depends on the magnitude of charge, the distance between the charge distribution and the observation point as well as on the permittivity of the medium. The electric flux density does not depend on the permittivity of the medium. Gauss"s law: total electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by that surface. Easy means for finding e or d for symmetrical charge distributions such as a point charge, an infinite line charge, an infinite cylindrical surface charge, and a spherical distribution of charge. Electric potential: work done to move a unit charge from point a to point b is the potential difference. Fig 2 displacement of point charge q in an electrostatic field e. According to the conservative nature of electric field (i. e. vab=-vba or vab+vba=0)
