Unit 5: Overview

Introduction

We begin looking at electric field and potentials.  We talk about Gauss and learn what the Flux is.

Unit Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of the unit, the learner will be able to:

1. Identify and calculate electric field vectors
2. Solve the potential of 3 particle systems
3. Define what the Flux is.
