Electric Potential, Flux, & Gauss' Law

Cards (10)

  • Electric Flux
    Product of the magnitude of the electric field and the surface area
  • Gauss' Law
    States that the net number of electric field lines leaving out of any closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge
  • Gauss' Law
    Net electric field lines leaving a closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge
  • Constant: E₀ = 8.85 x 10–¹² C²/Nm²

  • Electric fields are drawn to represent the way a positively charged particle would move if placed in a field represented by the multiple standing charges
  • Electric Field
    Area of electrical influence around a charged object, represented by the unit newton per coulomb (N/C)
  • Electric Field Formula
    • E = kq/ or E = F/q
  • Lines represent the field.
  • Spacing shows field strength.
  • Arrows represent directions of the field.
