What is the net electric flux through the torus (i.e., doughnut shape) of FIGURE ?

A sphere of radius has total charge . The volume charge density within the sphere is
This charge density decreases linearly from \(\rho_{0}\) at the center to zero at the edge of the sphere.
a. Show that .
b. Show that the electric field inside the sphere points radially outward with magnitude
The electric flux through the surface shown in FIGURE EX24.11 is . What is the electric field strength?

Find the electric fluxes through surfaces 1 to 5 in FIGURE P24.29.

The two spheres in FIGURE Q24.8 on the next page surround equal charges. Three students are discussing the situation.
Student 1: The fluxes through spheres A and B are equal because they enclose equal charges.
Student 2: But the electric field on sphere B is weaker than the electric field on sphere A. The flux depends on the electric field strength, so the flux through A is larger than the flux through B.
Student 3: I thought we learned that flux was about surface area. Sphere B is larger than sphere A, so I think the flux through B is larger than the flux through A.
Which of these students, if any, do you agree with? Explain.
