1 Applications of Gauss’s Law

2 When is Gauss’s Law Useful?

3 Sphere of Charge

4 Concentric Cavity Let’s say we have a sphere with a concentric cavity.
The charge is not in the cavity only in the “donut shape” Draw a sphere big radius b, small radius a. If charge is positive then we expect the charge to be directed towards the centre. Everywhere inside the cavity E =0 If we take a Gaussian surface so b>r>a So if we’re outside the shell, it acts as a point charge at the centre of the shell.

5 Radius Dependent Charge Density

6 Homework Do the sheet please  Due in 4th February
