PHYS 201 - Fundamentals of Physics II

Lecture 04 - Gauss's Law and Application to Conductors and Insulators. Lecture begins with a recap of Gauss's Law, its derivation, its limitation and its applications in deriving the electric field of several symmetric geometries - like the infinitely long wire. The electrical properties of conductors and insulators are discussed. Multiple integrals are briefly reviewed. (from oyc.yale.edu)
