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
Homework: Study for QUIZ on Electric Field Integral (no Gauss's Law) next class - Thursday, December 15th. Gauss's Law Problem Set 1 above is due to ✏️ Google Classroom on Sunday, December 18th at 10pm.
QUIZ on Electric Field Integral (no Gauss's Law) TODAY!
With any time remaining, 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: Gauss's Law Problem Set 1 above is due to ✏️ Google Classroom on Sunday, December 18th at 10pm. 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:
Daily Check-in: Gauss's Law for spheres and cylinders
Today, we'll do some problems which involve finding the electric fields in and around conductors and insulators. Chapter 23:
Required: 26, 49, 52, 51, 55, 76
Homework: Quiz on Gauss's Law on Thursday, December 22nd. This problem set as well as the next one are due to ✏️ Google Classroom by Wednesday, December 21st at 10pm (but I recommend finishing them by Tuesday night). If you haven't watched any of the previous videos, make sure to watch them. If you can, get ahead on these videos which you'll need to watch by Wednesday/Thursday:
Watch the following video on electric potential energy and potential before next class (recommend Tuesday evening so you can study for the quiz Wednesday).
Watch the following video on electric potential with the path integral. We use this method when we know that function for electric field for all points in space, which is usually in those symmetric situations when we used Gauss's Law.
Daily Check-in: Gauss's Law for sheet
Today, we'll practice using Gauss's Law to find the electric field around a sheet of charge. We'll do problems from Chapter 23:
Required: 18, 33, 36, 38, 43
Enrichment: Find some practice AP Problems
Homework: Quiz on Gauss's Law on Thursday, December 22nd. All of the Gauss's Law problems for spheres, cylinders, and sheets are due to ✏️ Google Classroom by Wednesday, December 21st at 10pm (but I recommend finishing them by tonight so that you can ask questions tomorrow).
Watch the following video on electric potential energy and potential before next class (recommend Tuesday evening so you can study for the quiz Wednesday).
Watch the following video on electric potential with the path integral. We use this method when we know that function for electric field for all points in space, which is usually in those symmetric situations when we used Gauss's Law.
