A point charge produces an electric flux of +305 N⋅m2/C through a gaussian sphere of radius 15.0 cm centered on the charge. a What is the flux through a gaussian sphere with a radius 29.0 cm ?b What is the magnitude of the charge?

Respuesta :

Given

The electric flux is

[tex]\phi=+305\text{ Nm}^2\text{ /C}[/tex]

Radius of the sphere,

[tex]r=15.0\text{ cm}[/tex]

To find

a. The flux through a gaussian sphere with radius of 29.0 cm.

b. The magnitude of the charge

Explanation

a. Since the gaussian sphere covers the same charge so the electric flux through both the sphere will be same.

Thus the required flux is

[tex]\phi=305\text{ Nm}^2\text{ /C}[/tex]

b.

The magnitude of the charge is

[tex]\begin{gathered} Q=\phi\epsilon_o \\ \Rightarrow Q=305\times8.85\times10^{-12} \\ \Rightarrow Q=30.97\times10^{-12}\text{ C} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Conclusion

a. The flux is

[tex]305\text{ Nm}^2\text{ /C}[/tex]

b. The charge is

[tex]30.97\times10^{-12\text{ }}C[/tex]
