Electric field due to any arbitrary charge configuration can be calculated using Coulomb’s law or Gauss law. If the charge configuration possesses some kind of symmetry, then Gauss law is a very efficient way to calculate the electric field. It is illustrated in the following cases. Cases (i) Electric field due to an infinitely longContinue reading “APPLICATION S OF GAUSS LAW”

Atomic theories
Pencil (1 × 10-2 m) Virus (1 × 10-6 m) Red Blood Cell (1 × 10-4 m) Dust Particle (1 × 10-7 m) Now you could imagine how small an atom would be. An atom is thousand times smaller than the thickest human hair. It has an average diameter of 0.000000001 m or 1 ×Continue reading “Atomic theories”
