Quiz today on electric field integrals.
Today, we'll review electric field line by playing with an online applet (Falstad 2-D Electrostatic Fields) while starting on this worksheet: Flux Using Applet. We'll explore the concept of flux. We'll talk about what flux is in general, and we'll figure out how to represent electric flux. Then, we'll go back to the online applet which will help us to understand even more about flux. Watch this video for directions on using the applet.
Today, we'll explore the concept of flux using the applet from last time (Falstad 2-D Electrostatic Fields) while completing this worksheet: Flux Using Applet. We'll look at all of the answers in this worksheet to see if we can draw conclusions about flux through a closed three-dimensional surface. Record your conclusions in the form in βοΈ Google Classroom.
Homework: If you have not yet already, finish the worksheet Flux Using Applet and record your conclusions in the form in βοΈ Google Classroom. Then, watch the following two videos on Gauss's Law:
Today, we'll recap how to use Gauss's Law for a conducting sphere. We'll then talk about why the electric field inside a conductor is always zero (in an electrostatic case anyway) by looking at what happens when we put a piece of metal inside an electric field.
Then, if there's time, start problems from Chapter 23:
Required: 4, 7, 14, 20, 29, 32, 52
Today, we'll do problems from Chapter 23 on applying the concept of flux and Gauss's Law:
Required: 4, 7, 14, 20, 29, 32, 52
Homework: Watch the following videos on finding the electric field inside a spherical insulator and finding the electric field around a sphere of non-uniform charge density:
