  2. The electric flux through the right face for electric field is3.92N.m2/C.
  3. The electric flux through the right face for the electric field is zero.
  4. The total flux through the cube for each field is zero.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The edge length of the cube,a=1.4m
  2. Electric fields, 6.00i^,-2.00j^, and-3.00i^+4.00k^
02

Understanding the concept of Gauss law-planar symmetry

Using the concept of the Gauss flux theorem, the flux value through each surface for the given electric field can be calculated. Again, the total flux within an enclosed volume for a uniform electric field is always zero.

Formula:

The electric flux through any enclosed surface, ϕ=E→.dA→ (1)

03

a) Calculation of the electric flux

The area of the surface is given as:

A→=Aj^=1.40m2j^

Thus, the value of the electric flux is given using equation (1) as:

role="math" localid="1657345803012" Ï•=6.00N/Ci^.1.40m2j^=0N.m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is zero.

04

b) Calculation of the electric flux

The value of the electric flux is given using equation (1) as:

Ï•=-2.00N/Cj^.1.40m2j^=3.92N.m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is 3.92N.m2/C.

05

c) Calculation of the electric flux

The value of the electric flux is given using equation (i) as:

Ï•=-3.00N/Ci^+400N/Ck^.1.40m2j^=0N.m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is zero.

06

Calculation of the total flux through the cube for each field

The total flux of a uniform field through a closed surface is always zero.

Flux and conducting shells. A charged particle is held at the center of two concentric conducting spherical shells. Figure 23-39ashows a cross section. Figure 23-39b gives the net flux ϕthrough a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius rof the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set byϕ=5.0×105m2/C.What are (a) the charge of the central particle and the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?

When a shower is turned on in a closed bathroom, the splashing of the water on the bare tub can fill the room’s air with negatively charged ions and produce an electric field in the air as great as 1000N/C. Consider a bathroom with dimensions2.5m×3.0m×2.0m. Along the ceiling, floor, and four walls, approximate the electric field in the air as being directed perpendicular to the surface and as having a uniform magnitude of600N/C. Also, treat those surfaces as forming a closed Gaussian surface around the room’s air. What are (a) the volume charge density r and (b) the number of excess elementary charges eper cubic meter in the room’s air?

What is the net charge on the (g) inner and (h) outer surface of the shell?
