1 Example: use Gauss’ Law to calculate the electric field due to a long line of charge, with linear charge density . This is easy using Gauss’ Law (remember what a pain it was in the previous chapter). Study the examples in this lecture and others in your text! To be worked at the blackboard in lecture.

2 Example: use Gauss’ Law to calculate the electric field due to a long line of charge, with linear charge density . Line is looooooong. E >0

3 E r dA Looking down the line.

4 dA E >0 r L

5 dA E >0 r L

6 Same as outside a solid cylinder!
>0 For positive : Same as outside a solid cylinder! In general:
