Figure 23-34 shows a closed Gaussian surface in the shape of a cube of edge length 2.00 m. It lies in a region where the non-uniform electric field is given by E=[(3.00x+4.00)i^+6.00j^+7.00k^]N/C, with xin meters. What is the net charge contained by the cube?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net charge contained by the cube is 2.1310-10C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The given electric field,E=(3.00x+4.00)i^+6.00j^+7.00k^N/C
  1. Edge length of the cube, a = 2.00 m
02

Understanding the concept of Gauss law-planar symmetry

Using the gauss flux theorem, we can get the net flux through the surfaces. Now, using the same concept, we can get the net charge contained in the cube.

Formula:

The electric flux passing through the surface,

=E.A=q0 (1)

03

Calculation of the net charge

None of the constant terms will result in a nonzero contribution to the flux, so we focus on the x-dependent term only. In Si units, we have

Enon-constant=3xi^

The face of the cube located at x = 0 (in the y-z plane) has area A=4m2(and it 鈥渇aces鈥 the +i direction) and has a 鈥渃ontribution鈥 to the flux that is given using equation (1) such that,

Enon-constantA=((3.00)(0)N/C(4m2)=0

The face of the cube located at x = -2m has the same area A (and this one 鈥渇aces鈥 the 鈥搃 direction) and a contribution to the flux that is given using equation (i) as:

Enon-constantA=-((3.00)(-2)N/C(4m2)=24N.m2/C

Thus, the net flux is given by:

=0N.m2/C+24N.m2/C=24N.m2/C

According to Gauss鈥 law, the net enclosed charge by the cube is given using equation (1) as:

qenc=(8.8510-12N.m2/C2)(24N.m2/C)=2.1310-10C

Hence, the value of the charge is 2.1310-10C.
