ELECTRIC FLUX
SALIENT FEATURES OF ELECTRIC FLUX 1. It is independent of the medium. 2. The electric field creates a force on a charge and hence the charge moves along a certain path. This path is called the flux line. 3. The force between two charges acts along a certain path. This path is also called the flux line. 4. Magnitude of flux depends only on the charge from which it originates. 5. The flux lines are equal to the charge in Coulombs. 6. Flux line is only an imaginary line. 7. Its direction is the same as that of the electric field.
ELECTRIC FLUX DENSITY
Problem: If an electric field in free space is given by E = a x + 2 a y + 5 a z V/m, find the electric flux density.
Problem 2. A point charge, Q = 10nC is at the origin in free space. Find the electric field at P (1, 0, 1). Also find the electric flux density at P .
GAUSS LAW Gauss’s law It states that the net flux passing through any closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed by that surface, that is, Consider a spherical surface which encloses a charge Q at its centre (Fig.)
GAUSS LAW IN POINT FORM Gauss’s law in point form states that the divergence of electric flux density is equal to the volume charge density, that is,
