12P01.5 Electric Flux and Continuous Charge Distribution
Learning Objectives Electric Flux Continuous Charge Distribution 12P01.5 Electric Flux and Continuous Charge Distribution
12P01.5 CV 1 Electric Flux
4 Electric Flux Flux through a surface No. of field lines passing through it It is denoted by .
5 Electric Flux If electric field is strong Density of electric field lines is higher Greater number of field lines pass through the surface Greater flux passes through surface Electric Flux depends on : Electric Field
6 Electric Flux If the surface area is small Number of field lines passing through it is less Flux passing through is small If the surface area is large then flux passing through it is also more. Area of surface Electric Flux depends on :
7 Electric Flux Angle between electric field and surface Angle between field and the area decreases Fewer electric field lines pass through surface But when surface and field lines are perpendicular to each other greater flux passes through surface Electric Flux depends on :
Where small area element It is a scalar quantity. SI unit : Where area vector uniform electric field 8 Mathematical expression of Electric Flux Area Vector : or If electric field is non-uniform,
unit vector in the direction of the outward normal For closed surfaces, area vector is always taken in direction of the outward normal to the surface. 9 Mathematical expression of Electric Flux Area vector for closed surfaces:

Q. Charge q is placed at the center of a sphere of radius . Find the flux of the electric field through the surface of the sphere due to the enclosed charge. Sol. Let’s assume q is positive
12P01.5 CV 2 Continuous Charge Distribution
A continuous charge distribution system is a system in which the charge is uniformly distributed over the conductor . In this system, infinite numbers of charges are closely packed and have minor space between them. Types of continuous charge distribution, linear charge distribution surface charge distribution volume charge distribution Continuous Charge Distribution
