Question

In (Figure 1), two objects, O1O1 and O2O2, have charges +4.0μC+4.0μC and −3.5μC−3.5μC, respectively, and a third object, O3O3, is electrically neutral.

a)

What is the electric flux through the surface A1A1 that encloses all three objects?

b)

What is the electric flux through the surface A2A2 that encloses the third object only?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Charge on O1 q1=+4 μC

Charge on O1 q2=-3.5 μC

Charge on O1 q3=0

 

Determine :

(a) electric flux through the surface A1

(b) electric flux through the surface A2

 

 

Gauss law :-

ϕ=q0

where

q=charge enclosed by the surface

0=8.85*10-12 C2/Nm2

ϕ=net flux through the surface
