AP Physics C : Study Guide Ch. 25

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this unit, you should be able to:

• Recognize electric flux is proportional to number of field lines penetrating a surface

• Calculate flux through a surface or cube.

• State Gauss' law.

• Relate Gauss' law to the number of field lines entering and leaving a surface.

• Use Gauss' law to obtain an expression for electric field of a point charge.

• Use Gauss' law to determine electric field of conducting surfaces.

• Apply Gauss' law to symmetrical charged surfaces: planar, spherical, and conical.
