Question

can gauss's law be used to effectively to calculate the electric field of a cube with a uniform surface charge density?
a)yes
b)no
c)yes,but only inside the cube
d)yes but only outside the cube
please explain!

Answer 1

@abb0t @wio @ganeshie8

Answer 2

Yes, I think so. I recognize uniform surface, but I am not sure if it is open or closed surface.

Answer 3

of a cube* sry

Answer 4

and yes i think they are assuming its a conductor , so closed

Answer 5

so can you explain why it would be yes

Answer 6

Then Yes, I believe you can use Gauss's law for thei given.

Answer 7

I think they can explain better than me: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/gaulaw.html

Answer 8

I don't remember E&M too well.

Answer 9

ok thanks u sir!
