Discovering Gauss's Magnetic Flux Experiment for Magnetism Law

Does anyone have any clue on how Gauss experimented on his law for magnetism?

The experiment he did to find the magnetic flux

Any help will be appreciated
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Aren't Gauss's laws for Electricity and magnetism more mathematical results than experimental observations? Because magnetic monopoles don't exist we can see that the flux will be zero through any closed surface. Maybe I am wrong and he did do experiments.
 
Yeah, i was just reading about Gauss turning it into a mathematical equation

Is he continuing what Michael Faraday did not finish?

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'

This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
