Problem solving guide for Gauss’ law
• Use the symmetry of the charge distribution to determine the pattern of the field lines.
• Choose a Gaussian surface for which E is either parallel to or perpendicular to dA.
• If E is parallel to dA, then the magnitude of E should be constant over this part of the surface. The integral then reduces to a sum over area elements.

Earnshaw theorem
Earnshaw's theorem states that a collection of point charges cannot be maintained in an equilibrium configuration solely by the electrostatic interaction of the charges. This was first stated by Samual Earnshaw in 1842. It is usually referenced to magnetic fields, but originally applied to electrostatic fields, and, in fact, applies to any classical inverse square law force or combination of forces (such as magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields).
![Page 24: Chapter 25 Gauss’ Law 第二十五章 高斯定律. A new (mathematical) look at Faraday’s electric field lines Faraday: Gauss: define electric field flux as if E is](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649d405503460f94a19f2c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A simple proof of Earnshaw theorem
This follows from Gauss law. The force acting on an object F(x) (as a function of position) due to a combination of inverse-square law forces (forces deriving from a potential which satisfies Laplace’s equation) will always be divergenceless (·F = 0) in free space. What this means is that if the electric (or magnetic, or gravitational) field points inwards towards some point, it will always also point outwards. There are no local minima or maxima of the field in free space, only saddle points.
