    I Gauss' theorem and inverse square law

    So, I know that the gauss law states that the Flux of the electric field through a closed surface is Q/ε , but does the gauss theorem works also for non inverse square law Fields? I think not because in order to not have a Flux depending on distance but a constant one we need that r^2 of the...

    Pulling apart a charged capacitor and Poynting theorem.

    Suppose we have equal and opposite charge densities on a parallel plate capacitor. Let the plates be separated some small distance d (small when compared with the plate size). Now slowly separate the plates so that their separation is now doubled to 2d. We have done work and the electrostatic...
