Question

Hey how would I solve this? A spherical surface completely surrounds a collection ofcharges. Find the electric flux (with its sign) through the surfaceif the collection consists of (a) a single +9.5 x10-6 C charge, (b) a single -2.0 x10-6 C charge, and (c) both of thecharges in (a) and (b). Thanks! Hey how would I solve this? A spherical surface completely surrounds a collection ofcharges.

Explanation / Answer

Charge q = 9.5 * 10 ^ -6 C

           q’ = -2 * 10 ^ -6 C

(a). Electric flux = q /

Where   = permittivity of free space = 8.85* 10 ^ -12 C ^ 2/ N m^ 2

So, electric flux = 1.0734 * 10 ^ 6 N m^2 / C

(b). Electric flux = q ' /

Where   = permittivity of free space = 8.85* 10 ^ -12 C ^ 2/ N m^ 2

Where   = permittivity of free space = 8.85* 10 ^ -12 C ^ 2/ N m^ 2

So, electric flux = 0.8484 * 10 ^ 6 N m^2 / C
