Explore electric flux and Gauss’s Law for a moving dipole. This short explains how motion affects field lines and flux while showing why Gauss’s Law still holds, offering clear physical intuition for ...

In this video, we derive the electric field of a long uniformly charged rod using Gauss’s law. We choose an appropriate Gaussian surface, apply symmetry arguments, and walk through the math ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...

Solar cells face significant challenges when deployed in outer space, where extremes in the environment decrease the efficiency and longevity they enjoy back on Earth. University of Toledo physicists ...

The second law of thermodynamics demands that the entropy of any closed macroscopic system should never decrease. The laws of physics naturally drive systems towards states of increasing disorder and ...
