Find the state and prove the gauss theorem in electrostatic
Answers
Statement of Gauss"s Theorem : The net-outward normal electric flux through any closed surface of any shape is equal to
1/ε0 times the total charge contained within that surface , i.e.,
over the whole of the closed surface, q is the algebraic sum of all the charges (i.e., net charge in coulombs) enclosed by surface S.
Proof of Gauss"s Theorem :
Let a point charge +q coulomb be placed at O within the closed surface. Let E be the electric field strength at P. Let
OP= r and the permittivity of free space or vaccuum be ε0.
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
