Reflect and research
-
Could Gauss’ law be applied to magnetism? Why or why not?
-
What else has Gauss done?
-
Are there other interaction for which Gauss’ Law can be applied?
-
What are Maxwell’s equations?
-
How are measurements of flux used in environmental research?
-
How does one use Gauss’ Law to test the
\(1/r^2\)
dependence of Coulomb’s Law?
To try in the lab
-
Propose an experiment to measure the charge of an object using Gauss’ law.
-
Propose an experiment to measure the electric field of a charged object, then compare your experimental results to the theoretical results predicted calculated by Gauss’ law.
-
Simulate the surface charge distribution on the inside and outside of a conducting cubic shell which encloses a point charge.
