Question

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at y = 1.00 m . Part A What is the total electric flux due to these two point charges through a spherical surface centered at the origin and with radius r1 = 0.365 m ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .
