The box-like Gaussian surface shown in Fig. 23-38 encloses a net charge of+24.0ε0Cand lies in an electric field given by role="math" localid="1657339232606" E→=[(10.0+2.00)j^+bzk^]N/Cwith xand zin meters and ba constant. The bottom face is in the plane; the top face is in the horizontal plane passing through y2=1.00m. For x1=1.00m, x2=4.00m,z1=1.00m , andz2=3.00m, what is b?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of b is 2N·m/C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Net charge enclosed by the surface,qenc=+24ε0C
  2. Electric field, E→=[(10.0+2.00)j^+bzk^]N/C
  3. The line passes through the y-axis, with coordinates in the x-z plane:y2=1m;x1=1m;x2=4m;z1=1m;z2=3m
02

Understanding the concept of Gauss law-planar symmetry

Using the concept of the Gauss flux theorem, we can get the net flux through all the planes. This will help determine getting an expression for the electric charge, solving it will give the value of b in the electric field expression.

Formula:

The electric flux passing the surface,

ϕ=∫E→dA→=qε0 (1)

Step 3: Calculation of the value of b

The net flux through the two faces parallel to the y-z plane is given using equation (1) such that,

ϕyz=∬Ex2-Ex1dy.dz=∫01dy∫1310+24-10-21N/C=6N/C∫01dy∫13dz=6N/C1m2m=12N·m2/C

Similarly, the net flux through the two faces parallel to the x-z plane is given using equation (i) as:

ϕxz=∬Ey2-Ey1dx.dz=∫14dx∫13dz-3--3N/C=0N·m2/C

Now, the net flux through the two faces parallel to the x-y plane is given using equation (i) as:

ϕxy=∬Ez2-Ez1dx.dy=∫14dx∫01dy3b-bN/C=2bN/C3m1m=6bN·m2/C

Now, the expression of the net charge due to the net flux can be given using equation (1) such that,

qenc=ε0ϕqenc=ε0ϕxy+ϕxz+ϕyzqenc=ε012N·m2/C+0N·m2/C+6bN·m2/C24.0ε0C=12ε0+6bN·m2/Cb=12N·m2/C

Hence, the required value is 12N·m2/C.

Flux and non-conducting shells. A charged particle is suspended at the center of two concentric spherical shells that are very thin and made of non-conducting material. Figure 23-37a shows a cross section. Figure 23-37b gives the net flux ϕ through a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius r of the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by ϕ=5.0×105Nm2/C. (a) What is the charge of the central particle? What are the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?
