''electric field always undergoes a discontinuity when you cross a surface charge σ'' GRIFFITHS
In the derivation; Suppose we draw a wafer-thin Gaussian Pillbox, extended just barely over the edge in each direction. Gauss law states that:
∫SE⋅A=Qenc/ϵ
and so E⊥above−E⊥below=σ/ϵ.
My question is why not 2A? ∫SE⋅A=2EA
because the top area of pillbox and the bottom area of pillbox, just as because the 2 parts of the flux...
SO.. WHY NOT : E⊥above−E⊥below=σ/2ϵ ?
And why there is tangencial component of electric field; not just perpendicular to the surface, which can be seen as flat just looking very close to the surface.
