Gauss's theorem / Sphere
Learning objectives
- To illustrate the choice of the closed surface for the application of Gauss's Theorem to a uniformly charged sphere.
Gauss's theorem applied to a uniformly charged sphere, illustrating the calculation of Qint. Using a closed Gauss surface allows a simple calculation if it relies judiciously on the symmetries of the field. In our case, the closed surface is a sphere with no material reality.
