| At this point, we have talked about how to find the electric flux through [[184_notes:e_flux|flat surfaces]] and through [[184_notes:eflux_curved|curved surfaces]] as well how to find the [[184_notes:q_enc|enclosed charge using charge density]]. These notes will go through two examples of how we find the electric field at a single point using electric flux, enclosed charge and symmetry arguments (Gauss's Law). Finally, we will discuss the advantages/disadvantages to using Gauss's Law. | At this point, we have talked about how to find the electric flux through [[184_notes:e_flux|flat surfaces]] and through [[184_notes:eflux_curved|curved surfaces]] as well how to find the [[184_notes:q_enc|enclosed charge using charge density]].
