Consider a sphere of radius R = 6 meters. I place the sphere into a uniform electric field E = 300 N/C. What is the net electric flux passing through the sphere?

Step 1
The electric flux Φ through a closed surface is given by Gauss's Law, which states that the net electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the total electric charge enclosed by that surface divided by the permittivity of free space (ε0). Show more…

A hollow sphere of radius 1.76 m is in a region where the electric field is radial and directed toward the center of the sphere. If the magnitude of the field at the surface of the sphere is 22.4 N/C, what is the net electric flux through the spherical surface? N · m2/C

The electric flux density in a region is given as D = (3 + 6r^2)ẑ. Calculate the total flux over a hemisphere surface bounded by r = 3 and 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/2.
