The use of Gauss s law was invariably easier for these highly symmetrical distributions because the problem of integration always disappeared when the proper closed surface was chosen. However if we had attempted to find a slightly more complicated field such as that of two unlike point charges separated by a small distance we would have found it impossible to choose a suitable gaussian surface and obtain an answer. Coulomb s law however is more powerful and enables US to solve problems for which Gauss s law is not applicable. The application of Coulomb s law is laborious detailed and often quite complex the reason for this being precisely the fact that the electric field intensity a vector field must be found directly from the charge distribution. Three different integrations are needed in general one for each component and the resolution of the vector into components usually adds to the complexity of the integrals. Certainly it would be desirable if we could find some as yet undefined scalar function with a single integration and then determine the electric field from this scalar by some simple straightforward procedure such as differentiation. 83 I e-Text Main Menu Textbook Table of Contents 84 ENGINEERING ELECTROMAGNETICS This scalar function does exist and is known as the potential or potential field. We shall find that it has a very real physical interpretation and is more familiar to most of US than is the electric field which it will be used to find. We should expect then to be equipped soon with a third method of finding electric fields a single scalar integration although not always as simple as we might wish followed by a pleasant differentiation.
