Applications of Gauss’s Law-12

Introduction of applications of Gauss’s Law-12

Applications of Gauss’s are widely used to find the expressions of the electric fields in the situations where the coulomb’s law can not be used successfully. Gauss’s law is applied efficiently to find the electric fields due to a charged sphere, charged wire and the charged surfaces of various shapes. Gauss’s Law is also used to derive the expression of coulomb’s law.

In order to execute the “Applications of Gauss’s Law-12” we have to evaluate the surface integrals over a close surface chosen intelligently called “Gaussian Surfaces.”

summary of Applications of gauss’s law-12

• The electric field at any point due to a line of charge varies proportionally to 1/r and so falls off with distance of the point from line of charge as 1/r
• The magnitude of the electric field intensity at any point due to an infinite plain sheet of charge is independent of the distance of the point where it is to be found’
• The charged spherical shell behaves as if the entire charge on were concentrated at its for any points situated outside it.
