Title5B20.40 - Field Lines through Gaussian Surfaces
Objective

To demonstrate how to select the appropriate Gaussian Surface for the given electric field line arrangement.​

StatusAvailable
Assembly Instructions
Obtain Gaussian Surfaces and blocking plate and camera. Set up the Gaussian Surfaces and Camera. Once the camera is set in position to be able to view each gaussian surface adequately , one at a time, tape the blocking plate to the bench underneath the gaussian surface to make it easy for the lecturer to switch between models in front of the camera.
