Lecture

Electric Fields in Conductors

Description

This lecture discusses the concept of Gaussian surfaces and the behavior of electric fields in conductors. The instructor explains how the electric field within a conductor must be zero, and why the relative permittivity needs to be infinite to fulfill this condition. By using the example of a Gaussian surface enclosing free charges, the lecture demonstrates how the electric field is distributed in a conductor.
