5. -12 points SerCP11 15.8.P048 My Notes Ask Your Teac A charge q-+4.82 IC is located at the center of a regular tetrahedron (a four-sided surface) as in figure below. (a) Find the total electric flux through the tetrahedron. N m2/c (b) Find the electric flux through one face of the tetrahedron N m2/c

Answer 1

Solution)

From gauss law,

We know,

Electric Flux = Qenclosed/Eo

= (4.82 x 10^-6)/(8.85x10^-12)

=5.44 * 10^5 Nm^2/C

========

b) Electric flux through one face of the tetrahedron = (5.44*10^5)/4 = 1.36 *10^5 Nm^2/C
