Find the electric flux through a cylindrical Guassian surface produced by a point charge at base.
1 answer:
Answer:
Electric flux will be
Explanation:
Let the point charge enclosed by Gaussian surface is q
We have to find the electric flux through this Gaussian surface
According to Gauss law electric flux through any closed surface is equal to times of charged enclosed by the surface.
So electric flux will be
Gauss law is only valid for closed surface it is not applied for open surface

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance
and the voltage (
) are related by
(1)
when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.
When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):
this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:
And since , substituting into the previous equation, we find:
