Lecture 3: Dipoles, Electric Flux, Gauss' Law

Objectives:
  • Calculate the moment of an electric dipole, the torque on a dipole in an external electric field, and the energy of a dipole in an external electric field
  • Calculate the electric flux through a surface
  • Use Gauss' Law to calculate the electric field of a spherically symmetric charge distribution
