Electric Flux
Definition:
• Electric flux is the product of the
magnitude of the electric field and the
surface area, A, perpendicular to the
field
• ΦE = EA
• The field lines may make some angle θ
with the perpendicular to the surface
• Then ΦE = EA cos θ

Electric Flux: Surface as a Vector
Vector, corresponding to a Flat Surface of Area A, is determined
by the following rules:
 the vector is orthogonal to the surface
 the magnitude of the vector is equal to the area A
The first rule

 the vector is orthogonal to the surface

does not determine the direction of A .
There are still two possibilities:
Area = A

vectors should be adjusted, so the direction of vector is a smooth

Gauss’s Law: Applications
 Although Gauss’s law can, in theory, be solved to find
E for any charge configuration, in practice it is limited to
symmetric situations
 To use Gauss’s law, you want to choose a Gaussian
surface over which the surface integral can be simplified
and the electric field determined
 Take advantage of symmetry
 Remember, the gaussian surface is a surface you
choose, it does not have to coincide with a real surface

• Try to choose a surface that satisfies one or more of these conditions:
– The value of the electric field can be argued from symmetry to be
constant over the surface
– The dot product of E.dA can be expressed as a simple algebraic
product EdA because E and dA are parallel
– The dot product is 0 because E and dA are perpendicular
– The field can be argued to be zero over the surface

Conductors in Electric Field
39
Electric Charges: Conductors and Isolators
 Electrical conductors are materials in which
some of the electrons are free electrons
 These electrons can move relatively freely
through the material
 Examples of good conductors include copper,
aluminum and silver
 Electrical insulators are materials in which all
of the electrons are bound to atoms
 These electrons can not move relatively freely
through the material
 Examples of good insulators include glass, rubber
and wood
 Semiconductors are somewhere between
insulators and conductors
40
Electrostatic Equilibrium
Definition:
when there is no net motion of charge
within a conductor, the conductor is
said to be in electrostatic equilibrium
Because the electrons can move freely through the
material
 no motion means that there are no electric forces
 no electric forces means that the electric field
inside the conductor is 0
If electric field inside the conductor is not 0, E  0 then
there is an electric force F  qE and, from the second
Newton’s law, there is a motion of free electrons.
F  qE
41
Conductor in Electrostatic Equilibrium
• The electric field is zero everywhere inside the
conductor
• Before the external field is applied,
free electrons are distributed
throughout the conductor
• When the external field is applied, the
electrons redistribute until the
magnitude of the internal field equals
the magnitude of the external field
• There is a net field of zero inside the
conductor
42
Conductor in Electrostatic Equilibrium
• If an isolated conductor carries a charge, the charge
resides on its surface
Electric filed is 0,
so the net flux through
Gaussian surface is 0
qin
   E  dA 

Then
qin  0
43
Conductor in Electrostatic Equilibrium
• The electric field just outside a charged conductor is
perpendicular to the surface and has a magnitude of σ/εo
• Choose a cylinder as the gaussian surface
• The field must be perpendicular to the surface
– If there were a parallel component to E,
charges would experience a force and
accelerate along the surface and it would
not be in equilibrium
• The net flux through the gaussian surface is
through only the flat face outside the
conductor
– The field here is perpendicular to the
surface
