|
is the measure of flow of the electric field through a given area. |
Electric flux |
|
|
is proportional to the number of electric field lines going through a normally perpendicular surface. |
Electric flux |
|
|
states that the total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity |
Gauss law |
|
|
The electric flux through an area is defined as the |
electric |
|
|
The balanced structure of an object, the halves of which are alike. |
Symmetry |
|
|
A surface that divides space into an inside and outside region, so one can't move from one region to another without crossing the surface |
Closed surface |
|
|
A hypothetical closed surface that has the same symmetry as the problem we are working on-note this is not a real surface it is just a |
Gaussian surface |
|
|
Is applied to closed surfaces so that we can tell how much charge is inside the surface and must be distributed arbitrarily. |
