Physics 37.1 Gauss's Law Understood (3 of 29) What is Gauss' Law?

In this video I will explain what is Gauss' Law: If an imaginary sphere is placed around a point charge, with the point charge at the center of the sphere then Gauss' Law can be defined by the equation EA=Q(inside)/epsilon(not).

Your lectures are so clear and comprehensive, i can now understand the topics i could never wrap my head around. Thank you so much!!!

[NickThePyromaniac]

You're a lifesaver! I got stuck with an awful E&M prof and your videos a more than sutiable substitute!

[ronalds]

Sir, your lectures are awesome. Without your videos, I would have failed AP Physics C - Electricity and Magnetism.

[ohhsnapzgigi]

I was in your class last semester, and I continue to watch your videos for this semester. Thank you for these videos Professor they are a great help (: hope the book is coming together well!

[jeromemathew]

Without you, I am nothing in Physics. WIth you, I am a Physics Monster

[berke]

wow, in Turkey we are online now as universities the lectures are not efficient and hard to concentrate. you are god's bless. with walter lewin's channel you are the best <3

Q/(4π epsilon naught × r^2) • 4πr^2= Q/Epsilon naught

Awesome video! This man reminds me what a modern-day Richard Feynman would be like. The explanations are so simple.

[emirhandemir]

Sir, I watched your videos before my 2 exam and it was good enough. I hope you will be enough for this semester too :)

[melontusk]

Thanks a lot for this simple explaination, I'm more confident now.

[Jas-dgpe]

very thanks for this! I can now understand a lil bit more than I could before watching your video.

got some more learning to go!

[sindisss]

I want to thank u from the bottom of my heart . U are a great teacher . Without u i wouldnt have learnt anything from physics and wouldnt pass my exam . Much love from Albania 💫

Hmm. I've seen that integral symbol with a little circle on it. That's called contour intergal right? Professor, is there any difference between regular integration and contour integration? Do we use different methods to take contour integral? And what is it used for? 🤔

[nguyenhailong]

Thank you i'm really understanding this law :)

[boboganbobogan]

What if we do not place the charge right in the center of the sphere? What would change?

[julia-cvtb]

Your videos are truly incredible and super helpful! Thank you so much for all your hard work

[harlbertmayerh]

finally I understand what happen with Gauss law!!! Thanks mannn

[goodc.]

I am conflicted about the concept of a charge needing to be exactly in the middle of a Gaussian surface. In my textbook, it says that "Gauss's law refers to the total charge enclosed, regardless of where the charge is located inside the surface." Is this still technically right?

[michaelduke]

The 'strength' of the electric field determines the size of the Gaussian sphere. [radius]

the next video is misplaced on this playlist. It says chapter 38
