Introduction
We shall begin with those fundamental concept that
are applicable to static (or time-invariant) electric
fields in free space (or vacuum). An electrostatic
field is produced by a static charge distribution. A
typical example of such field is found in a cathoderay tube.

Note that:
1. The two equations are basically stating Gauss's
law in different ways; the first equation is the integral
form, whereas the other equation is the differential or
point form of Gauss's law.
2. Gauss's law is an alternative statement of
Coulomb's law; proper application of the divergence
theorem to Coulomb's law results in Gauss's law.

Point Charge
Suppose a point charge Q is located at the origin.
To determine D at a point P, it is easy to see that
choosing a spherical surface containing P will
satisfy symmetry conditions. Thus, a spherical
surface centered at the origin is the Gaussian
surface in this case and is shown in the figure.

Another way of obtaining E is from the electric scalar
potential V to be defined in this section. In a sense,
this way of finding E is easier because it is easier to
handle scalars than vectors.

Note that:
1. In determining VAB, A is the initial point while B is the
final point.
2. If VAB is negative, there is a loss in potential energy
in moving Q from A to B; this implies that the work is
being done by the field. However, if VAB is positive,
there is a gain in potential energy in the movement; an
external agent performs the work.
3. VAB is independent of the path taken (to be shown a
little later).
4. VAB is measured in joules per coulomb, commonly
referred to as volts (V).

TECHNOLOGY BRIEF:
VAN DE GRAAF GENERATOR
- an electric motor power a continuous belt made of
some insulating material (usually fabric coated with
rubber)
- at the bottom of the insulating cylinder, the belt rubs
against a glass cylinder
- the friction of the belt against the glass produces a
negative charge (electron surplus) on the belt
- as the belt moves upward, the electrons are carried
with it

TECHNOLOGY BRIEF:
VAN DE GRAAF GENERATOR
- at the top of the belt, an electron collector conducts
the surplus electrons to the metal sphere
- electrons cannot collect inside a hollow sphere so
they immediately move to the outside where they
induce a positive charge on the inside of the sphere
- the positive charge attracts more electrons from the
belt and sends them to the outside of the sphere
- in this manner, the Van de Graaf generator
produces an enormous negative electrostatic charge
on the outside of the sphere

1940s on the design and construction of magnetrons
for radar, observed that a chocolate bar that had
unintentionally been exposed to microwaves had
melted in his pocket.
- the process of cooking by microwave was patented
in 1946 and by the 1970s, microwave ovens had
become standard household items.

TECHNOLOGY BRIEF:
MICROWAVE OVENS
- a microwave is an electromagnetic wave whose
frequency lies in the 300 MHz 300 GHz range.
- when a material containing water is exposed to
microwaves, the water molecule reacts by rotating
itself so as to align its own electric dipole along the
direction of the electric field of the microwave.
- the rotation motion creates heat in the material,
resulting in the conversion of microwave energy to
thermal energy.

MICROWAVE OVENS
- microwave absorption by water exhibits a spectrum
with a peak that occurs at a resonant frequency
whose value depends on the temperature of the
water and on the concentration of dissolved salts or
sugars present in the water.
- the frequency most commonly used in microwave
ovens is 2.54 GHz, and the standard source for
generating energy at this frequency is the
magnetron.

- Computed tomography, also known as CT scan or
CAT scan (for computed axial tomography), refers to
a technique capable of generating 3-D images of Xray attenuation (absorption) properties of an object.

X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
A CT scanner uses an X-ray
source with a narrow slit that
generates a fan-beam, wide
enough to encompass the
extent of the body, but only a
few millimeter in thickness.
Instead of recording the
attenuated X-ray beam on
film, it is captured by an
array of some 700 detectors.

- GPS provides a location inaccuracy of about 30 m,
both horizontally and vertically
- this inaccuracy is attributed to several factors,
including time delay errors that depend on the
receivers location on Earth, delay due to signal

DIFFERENTIAL GPS (DGPS)
- uses a stationary reference receiver at a location
with known coordinates. By calculating the
difference between its location on the basis of the
GPS estimate and its true location, the reference
receiver establishes coordinates correction factors
and transmits them to all DGPS receivers in the
area.
