In Fig. 23-32, a butterfly net is in a uniform electric field of magnitude E=3.0mN/C. The rim, a circle of radiusa=11cm, is aligned perpendicular to the field. The net contains no net charge. Find the electric flux through the netting.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric flux through the netting is -1.1×10-4N.m2/C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The magnitude of the electric field,E=3.0m.N/C
  2. Radius of the circle,a=11cm1m100cm=0.11m
  3. The net contains no charge.
02

Understanding the concept of electric flux

Using the concept of Gauss flux theorem through an enclosed surface, we can get the flux value of the electric field through a circular surface.

Formula:

The electric flux through a circular surface, Ï•=Ï€a2E (1)

03

Calculation of the electric flux

The flux through the flat surface encircled by the rim is given using equation (1) and thus, the flux through the netting is given as:

ϕ'=-ϕ=-π(0.11m)2(3.0×10-3N/C)=-1.1×10-4N.m2/C

Hence, the value of the flux is -1.1×10-4N.m2/C.

Figure 23-41ashows a narrow charged solid cylinder that is coaxial with a larger charged cylindrical shell. Both are non-conducting and thin and have uniform surface charge densities on their outer surfaces. Figure 23-41bgives the radial component Eof the electric field versus radial distance rfrom the common axis, and. What is the shell’s linear charge density?

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?

A particle of charge q=1.0×10-7Cis at the center of a spherical cavity of radius 3.0cmin a chunk of metal. Find the electric field

(a)1.5cmfrom the cavity center and

(b) anyplace in the metal.

Figure 23-29 shows four Gaussian surfaces consisting of identical cylindrical midsections but different end caps. The surfaces are in a uniform electric fieldE→that is directed parallel to the central axis of each cylindrical midsection. The end caps have these shapes:S1, convex hemispheres;S3, concave hemispheres;S3, cones;S4, flat disks. Rank the surfaces according to (a) the net electric flux through them and (b) the electric flux through the top end caps, greatest first.

In Fig. 23-49, a small, non-conducting ball of massm=1.0mgand charge q=2.0×10-8C (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle θ=30owith a vertical, uniformly charged non-conducting sheet (shown in cross-section). Considering the gravitational force on the ball and assuming the sheet extends far vertically and into and out of the page, calculate the surface charge density s of the sheet.
