Before you read this, I suggest you read posts 25.9 and 25.10. Gauss’s law is a statement about the electric and magnetic flux in a defined volume of space. It is named after the German physicist and mathematician Carl Gauss (1777-1855). But a lot of other topics in mathematics and physics are named after him,… Continue reading 25.11 Gauss’s law

Before you read this, I suggest you read post 25.9 I introduced the idea of a magnetic field in post 16.25 before I had written about vectors; I am returning to the topic now because I have written more about fields (posts 17.24 and 25.9) and about vectors (posts 17.2 and 17.3). A magnetic field… Continue reading 25.10 Magnetic fields
