Question

explain gauss's theorem?

Answer 1

In electromagnetism, the Gauss theorem allows to calculate the flux of an electric field through a closed surface containing electrical charges. It is due to Carl Fried-rich Gauss.


The theorem is expressed as follows:

the flux of the electric field through a closed surface  S is equal to the sum of the electric charges contained in the volume  V delimited by this divided surface By the permittivity of the vacuum.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the Gauss law, the total flux linked with a closed surface is 1/ε0 times the charge enclosed by the closed surface.

∮E⃗ .d⃗ s=1∈0q .

According to Gauss Law,

Φ = → E.d → A

Φ = Φcurved + Φtop + Φbottom

Φ = → E . d → A = ∫E . dA cos 0 + ∫E . dA cos 90° + ∫E . dA cos 90°

Φ = ∫E . dA × 1

Due to radial symmetry, the curved surface is equidistant from the line of charge and the electric field in the surface has a constant magnitude throughout.

Φ = ∫E . dA = E ∫dA = E . 2πrl

The net charge enclosed by the surface is:

qnet = λ.l

Using Gauss theorem,

Φ = E × 2πrl = qnet/ε0 = λl/ε0

E × 2πrl = λl/ε0

E = λ/2πrε0
