Solving Gauss Law Problems: Understanding Flux & Point Charges

[goyal.vishesh]

problem in flux / gauss law

could someone please post me a link which can explain gauss law. i am having trouble understanding the basics regarding it.

eg. if we have a point charge +q kept at the edge of a cube of say side 'a' , what will be the net flux through the remaining sides...

thank you

for your help

Sure, I can provide some resources that can help you understand Gauss Law and solving problems related to it.

First, let's start with a brief explanation of Gauss Law. It is a fundamental law in electromagnetism that relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed within that surface. In simpler terms, it helps us calculate the electric field at a point by considering the distribution of charge around it.

Now, for your specific problem, here are some resources that can guide you through solving it:

1. Khan Academy has a great video explaining Gauss Law and how to solve problems related to it. You can watch it here: https://www.khanacademy.org/science...rce-and-voltage/gauss-law-physics/v/gauss-law

2. The Physics Classroom also has a detailed explanation of Gauss Law and several practice problems with step-by-step solutions. You can access it here: https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/estatics/Lesson-3/Gauss-Law

3. The University of Colorado at Boulder has an interactive simulation that allows you to visualize Gauss Law and its application. You can check it out here: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/gauss-law/latest/gauss-law_en.html

I hope these resources will help you understand Gauss Law better and solve your problem. Remember to break down the problem into smaller steps and use the formula for Gauss Law (Φ = Q/ε0) to calculate the electric flux through each side of the cube. Good luck!
