Electrostatics: Gauss's Law

This lecture covers the fundamentals of electrostatics, including charge separation, electric force, electric field calculations, conservative Coulomb force, Gauss's law, and the application of Gauss's law. It also delves into topics such as electric potential, work done in an electric field, conductor behavior, and Poisson and Laplace equations. The differential and integral forms of Gauss's law are explained, emphasizing the concept of flux and its evaluation through closed surfaces. Various examples illustrate the application of Gauss's law in simplifying electric field calculations, particularly in scenarios with symmetrical charge distributions.
