Introduction
R
The fundamental problem for electromagnetic to solve is to
calculate the interaction of charges in a given configuration.
That is, what force do they exert on another charge Q ?
The simplest case is that the source charges are stationary.
Principle of Superposition:
The interaction between any two charges is completely unaffected
by the presence of other charges.

Because the field falls off like 1 r ,the vectors get shorter as I go
father away from the origin,and they always point radially outward.
This vectors can be connect up the arrows to form the field lines.
The magnitude of the field is indicated by the density of the lines.
2.2.1 (2)
1.Field lines emanate from a point charge symmetrically in all
directions.
2.Field lines originate on positive charges and terminate on
negative ones.
3.They cannot simply stop in midair, though they may extend
out to infinity.
4.Field lines can never cross.
2.2.1 (3)
Since in this model the fields strength is proportional
v vto the
v
number of lines per unit area, the flux of E ( E da ) is
proportional to the the number of field lines passing through
any surface .

Gauss Law
Essentially, it states that the net electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the
total charge enclosed by that surface. Gauss law provides an easy means of finding E for
symmetrical charge distributions such as a point charge, an infinite line charge, and
infinite cylindrical surface charge, and a spherical distribution of charge.
