Question

Monday Homework Problem 3.4 A golf tube has total charge-0.1C. Compute the total electric flux out of the lab room containing the charged golf tube and no other net charge. Select One of the Following (a) This cannot be solved because the room is not spherical. (b) 0 (d) -1x 10 Nm2/C (e) This cannot be calculated because the distance from the charge to the walls of the room is not given.

Answer 1

According to gauss law,

electric flux, $\phi$ = Q/$\epsilon$_o = 0.1*10^-6 / (8.85*10^-12)

$\phi$= -11294.35 Wb

$\phi$ = -1*10⁴ Wb
