Answer:
Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π
Explanation:
The electrical flow is
Ф = E A
where E is the electric field and A is the surface area
Let's shut down the electric field with Gauss's law
Фi = ∫ E .dA = / ε₀
the Gaussian surface is a sphere so its area is
A = 4 π r²
the charge inside is
q_{int} = Q
we substitute
E 4π r² = Q /ε₀
E = 1 / 4πε₀ Q / r²
To calculate the flow on the two surfaces
* Sphere
Ф = E A
Ф = 1 / 4πε₀ Q / r² (4π r²)
Ф_sphere = Q /ε₀
* Cube
Let's find the side value of the cube inscribed inside the sphere.
In this case the radius of the sphere is half the diagonal of the cube
r = d / 2
We look for the diagonal with the Pythagorean theorem
d² = L² + L² = 2 L²
d = √2 L
we substitute
r = √2 / 2 L
r = L / √2
L = √2 r
now we can calculate the area of the cube that has 6 faces
A = 6 L²
A = 6 (√2 r)²
A = 12 r²
the flow is
Ф = E A
Ф = 1 / 4πε₀ Q/r² (12r²)
Ф_cubo = 3 /πε₀ Q
the relationship of these two flows is
Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π
