E&M Tutorial VI: Exploring symmetry to calculate the electric field using Gauss's Law
This student tutorial covers the topics of symmetry and Gauss's Law in electrostatics. The material is appropriate for a calculus-based introductory physics course.
Please note that unlike tutorials I through V in this series, research into the use and design of this tutorial is not complete. The tutorial is designed for use after traditional instruction as an in-class supplement, out-of-class homework, or student self-study tool. The authors recommend that the tutorial be given in-class to students working in groups of 2-3. A majority of student groups can finish the pre-test and tutorial in a 1 hour 50 minute period. A test is provided that may be given as a pre-test (after traditional instruction and before the tutorial) or a post-test (the following class so that students that do not finish the tutorial can do so at home before taking the test). The test requires 15-20 minutes to complete.
