उत्तर
Gauss' Law states that the net electric flux through any closed surface is equal to `1/epsilon_0` times the net electric charge within that closed surface.
`oint vec" E".d vec" s" = (q_(enclosed))/epsilon_o`
In the diagram, we have taken a cylindrical gaussian surface of radius = r and length = l.
The net charge enclosed inside the gaussian surface `q_(enclosed) = lambdal`
By symmetry, we can say that the Electric field will be in radially outward direction.
According to gauss' law,
`oint vec"E".d vec"s" = q_(enclosed)/epsilon_o`
`int_1 vec"E" .d vec"s" + int_2 vec"E" .d vec"s" + int_3 vec"E". d vec"s" = (lambdal)/epsilon_o`
`int_1 vec"E". d vec"s" & int_3 vec"E". d vec"s" "are zero", "Since" vec"E" "is perpendicular to" d vec"s"`
`int_2 vec"E" . d vec"s" = (lambdal)/epsilon_o`
`"at" 2, vec"E" and d vec"s" "are in the same direction, we can write"`
`E.2pirl = (lambdal)/epsilon_o`
`E = lambda/(2piepsilon_o r)`

In 1959 Lyttleton and Bondi suggested that the expansion of the Universe could be explained if matter carried a net charge. Suppose that the Universe is made up of hydrogen atoms with a number density N, which is maintained a constant. Let the charge on the proton be: ep = – (1 + y)e where e is the electronic charge.
- Find the critical value of y such that expansion may start.
- Show that the velocity of expansion is proportional to the distance from the centre.
In finding the electric field using Gauss law the formula `|vec"E"| = "q"_"enc"/(epsilon_0|"A"|)` is applicable. In the formula ε0 is permittivity of free space, A is the area of Gaussian surface and qenc is charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. This equation can be used in which of the following situation?
