    Physics 2 Concepts of A Charge, Electric Fields and Gauss Law

    Uploaded by

    Rodante P Hernandez Jr.
    Electrons can be transferred between objects, resulting in positive or negative charges depending on whether electrons are gained or lost. This transfer of electrons is only possible in conductors and results in electric fields represented by field lines directed away from positive charges and toward negative charges. Since electric fields are present, electrostatic forces must also exist. When electric fields pass through a surface over time, electric flux is generated based on both the electric field and the surface area. To solve problems involving electric charges and fields, a figure should be drawn and axes identified to simplify the problem before applying relevant concepts and equations.

    Concept summary:

     Electrons are the ones who are being transferred. (body gains electrons =
    negative charge, body loses electrons = positive charge). These flows will only
    be possible depending on the material you have. Most metals are good
    conductors, while most nonmetals are insulators. Like charges repel and unlike
    charges attract each other. (Cutnell, Johnson, Young, & Stadler, 2012). Provided
    that no net electric charge can be created or destroyed. (Giancoli, 2014). There
    are ways to produce a charge It can be by induction or by contact.

    Figure:

     By producing these charges, depending on what method you choose, there must
    be an electric field present and can be represented called electric field lines. In
    general, electric field lines are always directed away from positive charges and
    toward negative charges. (Cutnell, Johnson, Young, & Stadler, 2012).Since
    there is a electric field present, there must be a force present namely
    electrostatic force. (Cutnell, Johnson, Young, & Stadler, 2012). Since this force is
    present Figure:

     When this electric fields flow on a given surface at a certain period, electric flux is
    generated. The idea of flux involves both the electric field and the surface
    through which it passes. (Cutnell, Johnson, Young, & Stadler, 2012).
    Figure:

     Problem Solving Approach:


    1. Draw the figure, identify which problem is asked so we can further simplify the
    problem.
    2. Choose axis (state where are your positive side and negative side).
    3. Identify what is included in the system
    4. Use the concept summary as guide.
