Physics 37 Gauss's Law (2 of 16) Cylindrical Charge

In this lecture we'll cover the electric field once again with the addition of Gauss's Law.

What a fantastic teacher! He got me through classical mechanics and now he's going to save my butt in electromagnetism!

[faizkroller]

That explanation about the difference between the Gaussian surface area and the surface area of the conductor really did save me from all the confusion about this topic. Outstanding teaching!

[StreetSmart]

The Swag level of this here gentleman is off the charts, no joke.

[MichelvanBiezen]

You are correct.
I should have stated 2.0 m from the center of the conductor (or 2.0 m from the edge of the conductor).
In this example it is 2.0 m from the center of the conductor (implied).

My left ear enjoyed this. Going to ace this exam.

[sidneyboo]

I just saw what other topics you taught... You're going to be my savior for the next 3 years...

[Jossymancia]

Just went over this lesson in class today and this makes so much more sense. Thank you.

This guy is a legend for making these videos

Raymond,
It depends on the geometry and the distribution of the charge.  If the charge is symmetrically distributed, like in this example, then yes, the magnitude of the electric field will be the same everywhere on the Gaussian surface.  And the direction will be perpendicular to the surface everywhere along the surface.

If I only had my book I am sure understanding this would have taken me much more time. Thanks for these fantastic videos.

Guass: If you use my law, you will score 100. If you don't, you gonna get 0

[fikret]

this video is very good and ı liked the video because you drew the vector of E and we can understand more in this way. THANK YOU

[queenstrategy]

Best physics videos I have ever watched

The magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface will be the same, regardless of the size of the charge carrying cylindrical conductor inside.

Your mechanic videos helped me a lot last year and this year i have E&M and surely your help has a big influence in my studying! Thanks for the hard work Michel :) 

[raemocha]

these videos are so helpful i'm shook

[javadhikmati]

An excellent teacher i must say! could you please make some more videos on Gauss law, if you only have the time. thanks anyway Michel.

[charliecuk]

Wish I had a teacher like this when I was at school.

[dbmoney]

Just want to say thank you for doing these problems... My physics teacher only teaches theory and never does example problems.  I have a much better understanding now.  Thanks again.

[anhtu]

you explained really clearly and simple. i get it easily. Thank you very much sir
