Lesson 1.2: Gauss's Law and Electric Flux 1 Gauss's Law is an important tool used to assess the amount of charge in an enclosed surface. 2 Electric flux is an important concept in connection to the Gauss Law. The electric flux is the amount of electric field flowing through a surface and is expressed as: Flux = 0) = EAcose ms 3. Gaussian Surfaces a. Conducting Cylinder In the given figure, the blue cylinder is depicted as the cylindrical gaussian surface outside the cylinder. The electric flux is expressed as the following equation wherein A is the linear charge density in units of C/m. 0 = E2xrL = AL or E= 2are AA + + + + +Name: Date: SHS Track/Section: .Score: Teacher: Activity 1.2: Gauss's Law and Electric Flux Target Skills: 1.
