  3. The net flux through the surface is 8.23Nm2C .
  4. The net enclosed charge is 7.29×10-11C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The edge length of the cube,a=1.4m

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,

ϕ=E.A=q∈01

03

a) Calculation of the net flux 

Let the area of the cube,A=1.40m2

Then, the net flux enclosed by the cube is given using equation (1) as:

ϕ=3.00yj^.-Aj^y=0m+3.00yj^.Aj^y=1.40mϕ=3.00NC1.40m2ϕ=8.23N.m2/C

Hence, the value of the flux is8.23N.m2/C .

04

b) Calculation of the net charge enclosed by the cube 

The charge enclosed by the cube is now given using equation (i) as:

qenc=8.85×10-12C2/Nm28.23N.m2/Cqenc=7.29×10-11C

Hence, the value of the charge is 7.29×10-11C.

05

c) Calculation of the net flux 

Let the area of the cube,A=1.40m2

The electric field can be re-written as:E→=3.00yj^+E0→,

where E0→=-4.00i^+6.00j^ is a constant field which does not contribute to the net flux through the cube.

Thus, the net flux remains constant for this field and is8.23N.m2/C.

06

d) Calculation of the net charge enclosed by the cube

The charge enclosed by the cube is now given using equation (1) such that,

qenc=8.85×10-12C2/Nm28.23N.m2/Cqenc=7.29×10-11C

Hence, the value of the charge is7.29×10-11C .

An electron is shot directly toward the center of a large metal plate that has surface charge density -2.00×10-6C/m2. If the initial kinetic energy of the electron isand if the electron is1.60×10-17J to stop (due to electrostatic repulsion from the plate) just as it reaches the plate, how far from the plate must the launch point be?

Figure 23-59 shows, in cross section, three infinitely large nonconducting sheets on which charge is uniformly spread. The surface charge densities are σ1=+2.00 μ°ä/m2,σ2=+4.00 μ°ä/m2,and σ3=-5.00 μ°ä/m2, and L=1.50 cmdistance . In unit vector notation, what is the net electric field at point P?

A long, straight wire has fixed negative charge with a linear charge density of magnitude 3.6nC/m . The wire is to be enclosed by a coaxial, thin-walled non-conducting cylindrical shell of radius 1.5 cm . The shell is to have positive charge on its outside surface with a surface charge density s that makes the net external electric field zero. Calculate s.

A small charged ball lies within the hollow of a metallic spherical shell of radius R . For three situations, the net charges on the ball and shell, respectively, are

(1)+4q,0;

(2)−6q,+10q;

(3)+16q,−12q. Rank the situations according to the charge on

(a) the inner surface of the shell and

(b) the outer surface, most positive first.
