Question

Flux and nonconducting shells. A charged particle is suspended at the center of two concentric spherical shells that are very thin and made of nonconducting material. Figure (a) shows a cross section. Figure (b) gives the net flux ? 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 ?s = 35.0

Flux and nonconducting shells. A charged particle is suspended at the center of two concentric spherical shells that are very thin and made of nonconducting material. Figure (a) shows a cross section. Figure (b) gives the net flux ? 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 ?s = 35.0 times 105 N·m2/C. (a) What is the charge of the central particle? Give your answers in mu C. What are the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?

Explanation / Answer

according to give question
in the figure each box = 7*10^5 N.m^2/c

According to Gauss's law we have
q enclosed. = epsilon*flux
(a) From fig we have flux = 2*7
