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”

What is light year?
Light yearThe nearest star to oursolar system is ProximaCentauri. It is at a distance of2,68,770 AU. We can note herethat using AU for measuringdistances of stars would be unwieldy. Therefore,astronomers use a special unit, called ‘lightyear’, for measuring the distance in deep space.We have learnt that the speed of light in vacuumis 3 × 108Continue reading “What is light year?”
