  • Using geometry let's prove that the Gauss law of electricity holds true for not just spheres, but any random closed surface.

    Wow, I have to admit when you said logical proof and stuff I was really skeptical, felt like it barely even involve math totally caught me off guard with how detailed this was, great work.
    But just to make sure I got this part right, at the start you basically divided the whole sphere into many tiny circles and same with the blob all to sum it up later much like how we can divide anything into tiny squares in calculus but transferred into spherical coordinates, or something like that right?

    For a charge outside the gausian surface, every electric field line (originated from charge) IF goes inside the surface must also come outside the surface.
    Field line inwards the surface denotes negative charge and outwards denotes positive. So net enclosed charge (assume two equal and opposite charges cause the entering & exiting field line) cancel out.
    By gauss law
    Flux * e = net charge enclosed
    (Net charge =0) Implies flux =0
    Hence field lines by charges outside the surface don't change the results

    theres a really weird implication of this though. Because now if we have a flat board and some charge outside of it(that lets say creates a uniform field), the flux is simply the field strength times the area (assuming the board is facing the field ). However,if the board is even slightly not flat, making it a closed surface, then the flux is suddenly 0.
    To me this seems intuitively paradoxical, because the flat board has field lines entering and exiting it as well, but for some reason the idea that the flux is negative when entering and positive when exiting only applies to closed (3d surfaces).
    What do you think about this?

    Great proof and explanation! Most people argue using the electric field lines when introducing Gauss's Law and its independence of the closed surface, but I always found that argument a bit unsatisfying. I find electric field lines are merely a simplification of the electric field for visualization purposes (they are artificial in a sense the other concepts aren't), and using them to "prove" E&M laws always seemed unrigorous to me, at least not as rigorous as a limiting process as this one. But then again, I'm still a student, so maybe I'll change my opinion. Nevertheless, great video =))

    Why do you take the area perpendicular to E at the outer surface. You need to take the area A of the outer surface and normal vector n to that area.

  • @itsmehere8285

    I've got a doubt bugging my head.... If the flux due to the charges outside do cancel out then why consider the field due them in the E.S surface integral ? Why don't we just ignore them altogether?

    • @KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish
      @KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish  Рік тому +3

      That's a great question. You are absolutely right. So, then why do that?
      It's accurate to say flux through a closed surface also equals E (only due to charges inside). S.
      But that's not a very useful thing for me?
      Because, my goal is most often is to calculate the electric field at some point in space.
      And that field is due to all the charges in the universe.
      So, the idea is to first find the flux - which is E (due to all charges).S - using Gauss's law and then use it to find the E(due to all charges).
      Does that make sense?

    Let me explain...
    E = kq / r^2
    kq = E * r^2 (flip variables)
    E' = kq / (nr)^2
    E' = E * r^2 / (nr)^2 (substitution)
    E' = E / n^2
    A = pi * r^2 = pi * (d/2)^2
    A' = pi * (nd/2)^2
    A' = A * n^2
    E' * A' = E * A
