electric flux and gauss law

Cards (17)

  • Any effect that appears to pass to travel through a surface or substance
    flux
  • Measure of the amount of electric field which passes through a defined area.
    electric flux
  • is represented by arrows to indicate the flow or movement from a positive charge or to a negative charge.
    electric flux
  • electric flux is represented by an
    arrow
  • this flow of an electric field through a given area is measurable using
    electric flux
  • used to measure electric flux or newton meters squared per coulomb
    Volt-meter(v-m)
  • states that the electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge inside the surface divided by the permittivity of free space
    gauss law
  • german mathematician and physicist
    Carl friedrich gauss
  • will have the associated electric field lines moving either from or toward its surface depending on the charge that it possess
    infinite line of charge
  • are made up of electric charges
    atoms
  • The interaction between these charges can predict how each atom will behave.
    atomic models
  • responsible for the formation of lightning and the presence of other electrical charges in the atmosphere.
    electrical breakdown of air
  • One of the hypothetical applications of the concept of electric charges is on their role
    charged pendulums
  • are industrially used in cross-linking polymers in the field of materials engineering
    electron beams
  • Electron beams are also used to
    x-rays, television screens and oscilloscope images
  • on the other hand have found their use in cancer treatment and other non invasive disease treatment
    proton beams
  • make use of the principles of electrostatic repulsion to propel the charged ink toward the paper or material to be printed
    ink jet printers
