Gauss Law - Applications, Gauss Theorem Formula

Gauss law states that the total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity. The electric flux in an area is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface projected in a plane and perpendicular to the field.

Frequently Asked Questions on Gauss Law

Q1

Can the Gauss law be applied to all surfaces?

For any closed surface and for any distribution of charges, the Gauss law is valid.

Q2

Can the Gauss law be applied to the non-uniform electric field?

The Gauss law can be applied to uniform and non-uniform electric fields.

Q3

State the Gauss law.

According to the Gauss law, the net flux of an electric field in a closed surface is directly proportional to the charge enclosed.

Q4

What is the factor on which the electric field lines depend?

The Gauss law is interpreted in terms of the electric flux through the surface. The electric flux through the surface is the number of lines of force passing normally through the surface. The electric flux depends on the charge enclosed by the surface.

Q5

When is the flux through the surface taken as positive or negative?

The flux through the surface is taken as positive if the flux lines are directed outwards and negative if the flux is directed inwards.

Q6

What is called a Gaussian surface?

A Gaussian surface is a surface through which the electric flux is calculated.

Q7

Can Coulomb’s law be derived using the Gauss law?

Yes, Coulomb’s law can be derived using the Gauss law and vice-versa.

Q8

Define surface charge density.

When the charge is uniformly distributed over the surface of the conductor, it is called surface charge density.


For CBSE Class 12 Physics, students typically learn about Gauss's Law in the context of electrostatics and its applications in determining electric fields due to symmetrically distributed charges. They may also learn about its applications in understanding the behavior of conductors and insulators in electrostatic equilibrium.

In the  CBSE  curriculum, understanding the concept of electric charge and its various types by ANAND CLASSES is of utmost importance.    MODERN ELECTRON THEORY   From the study of atomic structure, we know that an atom consists of a central part called nucleus and around the nucleus (called extra-nucleus) there are a number of electrons revolving in different paths or orbits.  The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. A proton is a positively charged particle while a neutron has no charge. Therefore, the nucleus of an atom bears a positive charge. An Electron is a negatively charged particle having negative charge equal to the positive charge on a proton. Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in an atom. Therefore, an atom is neutral as a whole; the negative charge on electrons cancelling the positive charge on protons. This leads to the conclusion that under ordinary conditions, a body is neutral, i.e. it exhibits no charge...

What Is a Capacitor? A capacitor is a two-terminal electrical device that can store energy in the form of an electric charge. It consists of two electrical conductors that are separated by a distance.  The space between the conductors may be filled by vacuum or with an insulating material known as a dielectric. The ability of the capacitor to store charges is known as capacitance. Capacitors store energy by holding apart pairs of opposite charges. The simplest design for a capacitor is a parallel plate, which consists of two metal plates with a gap between them. But, different types of capacitors are manufactured in many forms, styles, lengths, girths, and materials. How Does a Capacitor Work? The most basic structure of a capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor. It consists of two parallel plates separated by a dielectric. When we connect a DC voltage source across the capacitor, one plate is connected to the positive end (plate I) and the other to the negative end (plate I...
