The electric flux through the walls of a sphere of radius 50 cm due to a positive charge is 9 . Determine the magnitude of the charge.
Added by Jes-S G.
Step 1
Electric flux through a surface is the product of the electric field and the surface area through which the field lines pass. For a sphere, the electric field due to a point charge is uniform over the surface, and the formula for electric flux is given by Φ = E * Show more…
