From the field lines coming out of this

inside?
Electric Field Lines
The net charge inside must be +1 (if we
draw 4 lines per unit of charge).
Gauss’s Law of Electricity
The net number of electric field lines
passing through a Gaussian surface
is proportional to the charge
enclosed within the Gaussian
surface.

Charge Density
In general, charge density can vary with position. In
this case, we can more carefully define density in
terms of the charge in a very small volume at each
point in space. The density then looks like a
derivative:

You need to understand what we mean by this

density as a derivative.

Gauss’s Law of Magnetism
Gauss’s Law and Magnetic Field Lines
If magnetic field lines came out from point
sources like electric field lines, then we would
have a law that said:
The net number of magnetic field lines
passing through a Gaussian surface is
proportional to the magnetic charge inside.
N
Gauss’s Law and Magnetic Field Lines
But we have never found a magnetic
monopole.
- The thread model suggests that there is no
reason we should expect to find a magnetic
monopole as the magnetic field as we know it
is only the result of moving electrical charges.
- The field line model suggests that there’s no
reason we shouldn’t find a magnetic
monopole as the electric and magnetic fields
are both equally fundamental.

form closed loops.
So what can we conclude about the number
of lines passing through a Gaussian surface?
Gauss’s Law of Magnetism
The net number of magnetic field lines passing
through any Gaussian surface is zero.
Section 4
Gauss’s Law and Spherical
Symmetry
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
The charge density, ρ, can vary with r only.
Below, we assume that the charge density is
greatest near the center of a sphere.
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
Outside the distribution, the field lines will go
radially outward and will be uniformly
distributed.
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
The field is the same as if all the charge were
located at the center of the sphere!
Inside a Hollow Sphere
Now consider a hollow sphere of inside radius r with a
spherically symmetric charge distribution.
Inside a Hollow Sphere
There will be electric field lines outside the sphere and
within the charged region. The field lines will point
radially outward because of symmetry. But what about
inside?
Inside a Hollow Sphere
Draw a Gaussian surface inside the sphere. What is the
net number of electric field lines that pass through the
Gaussian surface?
Inside a Hollow Sphere
The total number of electric field lines from the hollow
sphere that pass through the Gaussian surface inside
the sphere is zero because there is no charge inside.
How can we get zero net field lines?
1. We could have some lines come in and go out again…
… but this violates symmetry!
How can we get zero net field lines?
2. We could have some radial lines come in and other
radial lines go out…
… but this violates symmetry, too!
How can we get zero net field lines?
3. Or we could just have no electric field at all inside the
hollow sphere.
How can we get zero net field lines?
3. Or we could just have no electric field at all inside the
hollow sphere.
This is the only way it can be done!
The Electric Field inside a Hollow Sphere
Conclusion: the static electric field inside a hollow
charged sphere with a spherically symmetric charge
distribution must be zero.

Class 19
Today, we will:
• learn how to use Gauss’s law and symmetry to
find the electric field inside a spherical charge
distribution
• show that all the static charge on a conductor
must reside on its outside surface
• learn why cars are safe in lightning but cows
aren’t
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
Electric field lines do not start or end outside charge
distributions, but that can start or end inside charge
distributions.
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
What is the electric field inside a spherically symmetric
charge distribution?
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
Inside the distribution, it is difficult to draw field lines, as
some field lines die out as we move inward. – We need
to draw many, many field lines to keep the distribution
uniform as we move inward.
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
But we do know that if we drew enough lines, the
distribution would be radial and uniform in every
direction, even inside the sphere.
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
Let’s draw a spherical Gaussian surface at radius r.
r
Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
Now we split the sphere into two parts – the part outside
the Gaussian surface and the part inside the Gaussian
surface.
r

Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
The total electric field at r will be the sum of the electric
fields from the two parts of the sphere.

Spherically Symmetric Charge Distribution
Since the electric field at r from the hollow sphere is
zero, the total electric field at r is that of the “core,” the
part of the sphere within the Gaussian surface.

Outside the core, the electric field is the same as that of
a point charge that has the same charge as the total

No field lines go through the Gaussian surface because
E=0. Hence, the total enclosed charge must be zero.

charge of the conductor is zero?
-- The volume charge density inside the conductor
must be zero and the surface charge density on the
conductor must also be zero.

Class 20
Today, we will:
• learn how integrate over linear, surface, and
volume charge densities to find the total charge on
an object
• learn that flux is the mathematical quantity that
tells us how many field lines pass through a
surface
Section 6
Integration
Gauss’s Law of Electricity
The net number of electric field lines
passing through a Gaussian surface
is proportional to the enclosed
charge.
But, how do we find the enclosed
charge?
Charge and Density
q  V is valid when?
Charge and Density
q  V when ρ is uniform.
If ρ is not uniform over the whole volume,
we find some small volume dV where it is
uniform. Then:
dq   dV
If we add up all the little bits of dq, we get
the entire charge, q.
q   dq    dV

Our goal is to turn two- and three- dimensional
integrals into one-dimensional integrals.
Fundamental Rule of Integration
Identify the spatial variables on which the
integrand depends.
You must slice the volume (length or surface)
into slices on which these variables are
constant.
Fundamental Rule of Integration
When integrating densities to find the total charge, the
density must be a constant on the slice or we cannot write

A Few Facts about Flux
For our purposes, we will (almost) always calculate flux
through a section of perpendicular surface where the
field is constant. So we will evaluate flux simply as:
  EA
A Few Facts about Flux
But we do need to find a more general expression for
flux so you’ll know what it really means…
An Area Vector
We wish to define a vector area. To do this
1) we need a flat surface.
2) the direction is perpendicular to the plane of the area.
(Don’t worry about the fact there are two choices of direction that
are both perpendicular to the area – up and down in the figure
below.)

3) the magnitude of vector is the area.

First, Let’s consider the flux passing through a frame
oriented perpendicular to the field.

1) We must take a small region of the surface dA that is
essentially flat.
2) We choose a unit vector perpendicular to the plane of
dA going in an outward direction.

A Few Facts about Flux
The flux through this small region is:

   d   E  dA
Recall that the normal to each small area is taken to be
in the outward direction.
A Few Facts about Flux
Thus, the most general equation for flux through a
surface is:
 
   E  dA
If we take the flux through a Gaussian surface, we
usually write the integral sign with a circle through it to
emphasize the fact that the integral is over a closed
surface:

Basic Plan:
1) Choose a cylindrical Gaussian
surface of radius r and length L
outside the charge distribution.
2) EA  2 rLE 

4) Note that there are no field lines
coming out the ends of the
cylinder, so there is no flux
through the ends!

Infinite Sheets of Charge
Basic Plan:
1) Choose a box with faces parallel to
the plane as a Gaussian surface.
Let A be the area of each face.
2) Find the charge inside the box. No
integration is needed.
