A 3.0-cm-diameter circle lies in the xz-plane in a region where the electric field isE→=(1500i^+1500j^-1500k^)N/C. What is the electric flux through the circle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric flux through the circle is1.07N·m²/C

Step by step solution

01

Given information and Theory used 

Given :

Diameter of the circle : 3.0-cm

The electric field is : E→=(1500i^+1500j^-1500k^)N/C

Theory used :

The quantity of electric field passing through a closed surface is known as the Electric flux. Gauss's law indicates that the electric field across a surface is proportional to the angle at which it passes, hence we can determine charge inside the surface using the equation below.

Φe=E·A·cosθ

Where θis the angle formed between the electric field and the normal.

02

Calculating the electric flux through the circle.

The rectangle is in xz-plane, this means the normal of the sheet is inydirection which means, the area has component j^. We can get A, the area of the flat sheet by

A→=π(d2)2=π(0.03m2)2 =7.1×10-4j^m²

When the electric field would be E→=(1500i^+1500j^-1500k^)N/C, the electric flux will be :

Φe=E→·A→=(1500i^+1500j^-1500k^)N/C·(7.1x10-4j^)m²=10650×10-4(i^·j^)+10650×10-4(j^·j^)-10650×10-4((k^·j^))=0+10650×10-4-0Nm²/C=1.07N·m²/C

A 1.0cm×1.0cm×1.0cm box with its edges aligned with the xyz-axes is in the electric field E→=(350x+150)i^N/C, where x is in meters. What is the net electric flux through the box?

FIGURE shows three Gaussian surfaces and the electric flux through each. What are the three charges q1,q2andq3?

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.
