Electric Flux and Gauss's Law

The video tutorial explains the concept of a spherical conductor with a surface charge density and how to calculate the total charge on the sphere. It then covers the calculation of electric flux using Gauss's Law and derives the electric field at a distance from the sphere. An alternative method for deriving the electric field is also presented. The video concludes with additional resources for further learning.

What is the formula to calculate the total charge on a spherical conductor?

• Charge density multiplied by the surface area of the sphere
