![]() ![]() ![]() This means that the electric field now is: When r d then we are in a similar case to iii), but will also include the charge of the outer (larger) sphere. Professional digitizer drawing by myself xD The small sphere has total charge +2q, while the larger sphere has a total charge of +4q.Ĭalculate the electric field at a radial distance r away of the center of those sphere cortexes as a function of q and r, where: To make it more interesting let's get into stuff that uses the formulas we talked of in the applications of Gauss posts, but more advanced.Ī small conductive sphere cortex with inside radius a and outside radius b is coaxial with a larger sphere cortex of inside radius c and outside radius d. ![]() How much charge is enclosed by this surface? The electric flux that passes a closed surface is 3.6 Nm^2/C. One of the things that Gauss's law states is:Īnd so when applying Gauss we want to find either of these:Ī closed surface encloses a total charge of q = 5.20μC.Ĭalculate the total electric flux that passes the surface. Having the length multiplied by 2 (l' = 2l) and by seeing in our flux equation that the flux is proportional to the length we can already imagine that the flux will be double that of a) and b). So, the electric flux that passes through the cylinder with any radius is: We can see that the radius cancelled out and so the results for a), b) are clearly the same, something that we already explained in a previous post, by saying that the electric flux is independent of the radius of a sphere and so also of a cylinder. The bases don't play a role (vertically across to the field) and so this is the area that we will use in our equation. Knowing that the electric field of this charge is E = λ/2πε0r, calculate:Ī) The electric flux that passes through the cylinderī) The electric flux that passes through if it had a larger radius of r' = 0.32mĬ) The electrix flux that passes through if it's length was increased to l' = 0.8m Suppose we have a very thin cylinder of radius r = 0.16m and length l = 0.4m.Īlong the axis of the cylinder there is an infinite length positive charge with linear charge density λ = 5μC/m. Just to start easy, let's first get into a simple example of Electric flux! So, without further do, let's dive straight into it! I highly suggest you to read the previous posts of this series that talk about Flux, Gauss's law and applications of Gauss's law, cause else you will just see formulas/equations being applied and will not understand the concepts behind it! Today we continue with Electromagnetism to get into exercises around Electric flux! Hello it's a me again Drifter Programming! ![]()
