LESSON 1.
STRUCTURE:
GAUSS'S LAW AND ITS APPLICATIONS.
Karl Friedrick Gauss's [ 1777 _ 1855 ]
A great German mathematician / theoretical Physicist.
1.0 Introduction
Though use of shortcuts may generally be dangerous in all walks of life, we would rather resort to an easier, cheaper and simpler way of doing things.
In the physics world, a very effective tool for simplifying problems, lie in the use of symmetric properties of bodies or systems.
"Symmetry is defined as property of some bodies to look exactly the same from any and all view points i.e., exact mirror images" _an example of a symmetric body is a perfect sphere.
In electrostatics, we utilise this tool to the fullest extent.
Gauss's law employs symmetry considerations to simplify electric field calculations.
It also offers an insight into how electric charge distributes itself over conducting bodies by describing a relation between continuous charge distribution (±q) and magnitude of the electric field (E) it produces. ..............................
