Module 2 : Electrostatics
Lecture 7 : Electric Flux
 
   Recap
   In this lecture you have learnt the following

Electric flux through a surface is surface integral of normalcomponent of electric field through the surface.

Gauuss's of electrostatics states that the flux of electric field from any closed surface is proportional to the charge

  enclosed by the surface. Both the integral and differential form of Gauss's law were studied.

Gauss's law helps us to deternmine electric field due to charge distributions having spatial symmetry. Fields due to

  distributions showing spherical and cylidrical symmetry were studied.
Electric field due a charged sheet was obtained using Gauss's law.
