What is the advantage of using Gauss's law in the field of physics instead of using Coulomb's?

Gauss' law can be used quite easily to find the net field through a gaussian surface, or any body, by cleverly constructing a suitable gaussian surface. The net field is equal to the charge enclosed within the gaussian surface divided by the permittivity of the medium through which field is calculated.


First law of magnetism?

The first law of magnetism states that opposite magnetic poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other. This law underlies the interaction between magnets and is a fundamental principle in understanding magnetic phenomena.


What is difference between residual magnetism and retentivity?

Residual magnetism and remanence are the same thing. The term residual magnetism is often used in engineering applications. Both terms describe the magnetization, and measure of that magnetism, left behind in a ferromagnetic material after the external magnetic field is removed.


What is the reason for the presence of residual magnetism in the field poles?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but the reason that there is magnetism at the poles has to do with the fact that magnetic field vector lines have no beginning or end, which is described mathematically through Maxwell's equations; specifically through Gauss' law for magnetism which states that the divergence of a magnetic field is 0, or ∇ ● B = 0. Divergence is a term meaning how much of something is exiting an enclosed surface. Since the divergence of a magnetic field is zero, there must be, always, the exact same amount of magnetic field exiting a surface as entering it, leaving the net divergence as 0.Thus, a magnetic field vector line has to "exit" from somewhere and loop around to "enter" somewhere else, and these two "somewheres" have to be connected (like a circuit). We call these two "somewheres" the magnetic poles.


What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?

The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.

Are Maxwell's equations symmetrical?

Yes, Maxwell's equations exhibit a degree of symmetry, particularly in how they describe electric and magnetic fields. They reveal a duality between electricity and magnetism, as the equations governing electric fields (Gauss's law and Faraday's law) have corresponding magnetic counterparts (Gauss's law for magnetism and Ampère's law with Maxwell's addition). This symmetry is further emphasized by their form in the relativistic framework, where electric and magnetic fields transform into each other under changes of reference frame. However, it’s important to note that the equations do not exhibit complete symmetry due to the absence of magnetic monopoles in classical electromagnetism.


Do gauss guns have recoil?

Obviously. If the Gauss gun shoots pushes something out at the front, this object will push back against the Gauss gun (Newton's Third Law).


What are Maxwell's equations?

Maxwell's equations are a set of four fundamental equations that describe how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate. They are: Gauss's law, which relates electric fields to charge distributions; Gauss's law for magnetism, stating that there are no magnetic monopoles; Faraday's law of induction, which describes how changing magnetic fields induce electric currents; and Ampère-Maxwell law, which relates magnetic fields to electric currents and changing electric fields. Together, these equations form the foundation of classical electromagnetism and explain a wide range of physical phenomena.


When the gauss law and coloumbs law are equal?

from anonymous surfer.... They are equal the only difference is that when the distance of the charge electrons are far so distant from each other, it is much better to apply Gauss's law while Coloumbs law for the other.....
