Question:
There are two reasons the field line flux through a closed surface may be zero: because the field is zero everywhere or because the outward flux is balanced by an equal inward flux. Why can't the latter situation be true for the Gaussian surface in Figure 24.12c?
Transcribed Image Text:
Figure 24.12 Using spherical Gaussian surfaces to examine the electric fields of a charged particle and a uniformly charged spherical shell. The electric fields, Gaussian surfaces, and charged shell are spherical and are shown here in cross section. charged particle (a) E hollow shell with same charge as particle (b) E E spherical Gaussian surface Gaussian surface outside shell: electric field is same as for particle. Gaussian surface inside shell: encloses no charge, so electric field must be zero.

I have a solid understanding of all learning styles as well as using asynchronous online platforms for tutoring needs. I individualise tutoring for students according to content tutoring needs assessments.
My strengths include good understanding of all teaching methods and learning styles and I am able to convey material to students in an easy to understand manner. I can also assists students with homework questions and test preparation strategies and I am able to help students in math, gre, business , and statistics
I consider myself to have excellent interpersonal and assessment skills with strong teaching presentation verbal and written communication
I love tutoring. I love doing it. I find it intrinsically satisfying to see the light come on in a student's eyes.
My first math lesson that I taught was when I was 5. My neighbor, still in diapers, kept skipping 4 when counting from 1 to 10. I worked with him until he could get all 10 numbers in a row, and match them up with his fingers.
My students drastically improve under my tutelage, generally seeing a two grade level improvement (F to C, C to A, for example), and all of them get a much clearer understanding!
I am committed to helping my students get the top grades no matter the cost. I will take extra hours with you, repeat myself a thousand times if I have to and guide you to the best of my ability until you understand the concept that I'm teaching you.
