Gauss's Law Song

Jeff and Kyle performing the Gauss's Law Song to Mr. Pevovar's AP Physics C class at Central Kitsap High School. To the tune of "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's."

lyrics:

Verse I:
Hey there my physics class I'm before you here today
To explain an important physics law so listen to what I say
Gauss's Law
The integral of E dA
E dA

Now if you have an electric field and it has symmetry
Just wrap a Gaussian surface around it and it will integrate easily
Yes it's true
With symmetry anything you can do
I swear it's true

Chorus:
Oh, E dot n dA
Oh, Q over ε0
Oh, E dot n dA
Oh, Q over ε0
This is Gauss' Law

Verse II:
Hey there my physics class I know electric flux is hard
But really it's just the flow of field lines through an area at large
With the charge enclosed
The net flux will be q over ε0
This we know

There are three types of surfaces with which we integrate
They are a sphere, a cylinder, a pillbox don't you worry about the shape
As the go about
The goings in the goings out they cancel out
They cancel out

Instrumental Chorus, Outro

awesome!!!!!!



[mrtgillespie2]

I miss Pevo's class



[Flarare]

Lol i'm learning about gauss' law in uni, and came across this lol! Well done guys

[MrProgrampro]

HAHAHAHA! That was awesome!

I would add "music", "calculus-based", "duet", "duo", and "Electricity and Magnetism" to the tag, for more views ; )

[comelnyew]

that was funny plus cute song!! now i'm doing a question with solid sphere of gaussian surface. nice song.
