Chapter 4: Gauss’ Law
4.1 Introduction to Gauss’ Law Gauss’ Law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that relates the net electric flux through a closed surface to the total charge enclosed by that surface. This law helps simplify the calculation of electric fields in situations with symmetry and is crucial in understanding the behavior of electric fields around…

Chapter 3: Electric Flux
3.1 Introduction to Electric Flux Electric flux is a measure of the electric field passing through a given surface. It helps us understand how the electric field interacts with objects and how charges distribute themselves on the surfaces of objects. In this chapter, we will discuss the concept of electric flux in more detail and…

Chapter 2: Electric Fields
2.1 Introduction to Electric Fields Electric fields are all around us. An electric field is a region surrounding a charged object where another charged object experiences a force due to electrostatic attraction or repulsion. The electric field () is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The electric field is defined as…
