O 213 points | Previous Answers S85 24.P24. The total electric flux through a closed surface in the shape of a cylinder is 2.60 x 104 M -m2/c. (a) What is the net charge within the cylinder? 2301 (b) From the information given, what can you say about the charge within the cylinder? X C O The net charge must be negative The sign of the net charge cannot be determined. The net charge must be positive. (c) How would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the net flux were -2.60 x 104 N m2/C? The net charge would be positive. The net charge would not have the same magnitude. The net charge would be negative. The net charge would have the same magnitude.Explanation / Answer
(A) from Gauss law,
net flux = Q_enclosed / e0
(2.60 x 10^4) = Q / (8.854 x 10^-12)
Q = 2.30 x 10^-7 C ....ANs
(b) sign of flux is the sign of net contained charge.
positive
(C) negative and flux same so magnitude will be same.
