What is the total electric flux through the surface of a sphere that has a radius of 1 m and carries a charge of 1µC at its center?
What is the total electric flux through the surface of a sphere that has a radius of 1 m and carries a charge of 1µC at its center? coulomb constant is given by Ke = 1/4πεο = 8.99 × 109 where εο is the permittivity of free space.
Right Answer is:
1.13 × 105 Nm2/C
SOLUTION
Charge (q) = 1 × 10−6 C
εο = 8.854 × 10−12
The electric flux through the surface of the sphere
φ = q/εο
φ = 1 × 10−6/8.854 × 10−12
φ = 1.13 × 105 Nm2/C
