Gauss Webquest by Claudio and Valentina

Gauss was a mathematician, astronomer and German physicist who contributed with many fields, for example: Number theory, mathematical analysis, differential geometry and magnetism.
In this quest you can find information about Gauss’s law concerning to the electric field. For analogous laws concerning different fields, see Gauss's law for magnetism.

TASK:
To understand the law of Gauss you need to know what are the electric charges and how they interact. So find information prior to this as the law of culomb.

Step 1: Clik on this link




electric charges

Step 2: The electric field of a given charge distribution can in principle be calculated using Coulomb's law; but it can become complicated if we spoke of many burdens, so follow the links and learn about Gauss' law
