  1. The flux of the uniform electric field if field given as E→=4i^N/Cis8.0N⋅m2/C .
  2. The flux of the uniform electric field if field given as E→=−4j^N/Cis 12.0N⋅m2/C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

The given area vector of the surface,A→=(2i^+3j^)m2

The electric field,E→=4i^N/C

The electric field,E→=−4j^N/C

02

Understanding the concept of electric flux:

Electric flux is the property of an electric field that describes the number of electric field lines crossing through a given surface area.

Formula:

The electric flux through a given surface,

Ï•E=E→.A→…..(¾±)

03

(a) Calculation of the electric fluxfor the electric field E→=4i^ N/C :

The amount of electric flux through the given area if the electric field is given as

E→=4i^N/C

His is calculated using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

ϕE=(4i^N/C)((2i^+3j^)m2)=8.0N⋅m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is 8.0Nâ‹…m2/C.

04

(b) Calculation of the electric flux for the electric field E→=−4i^ N/C :

The amount of electric flux through the given area if the electric field is given as.

E→=4j^N/C

This is calculated using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

ϕE=(4j^N/C).((2i^+3j^)m2)=12.0N⋅m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is 12.0Nâ‹…m2/C.

Assume that a ball of charged particles has a uniformly distributed negative charge density except for a narrow radial tunnel through its center, from the surface on one side to the surface on the opposite side. Also assume that we can position a proton anywhere along the tunnel or outside the ball. Let Fr be the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the proton when it is located at the ball’s surface, at radius R. As a multiple of R, how far from the surface is there a point where the force magnitude is if we move the proton (a) away from the ball and (b) into the tunnel?
