Question

1) A flat piece of cardboard with area 77.0 cm2 is immersed in a uniform electric field of strength 8.30×103 N/C. If the angle between the field and the cardboard’s area vector is 121°, find the electric flux through the cardboard. please give me the answer in (N/C)·m2

2) A cherry with charge 0.00000310 C is embedded in an uncharged cube of jello. Find the flux going through the walls of the jello. Please give me the answer in (N/C)·m2

Explanation / Answer

1) Electric flux = E.A

= E A cos(theta)

= (8.30 x 10^3) (77 x10^-4) cos121

= - 32.92 N m^2 / C

2) from Gauss law,

total flux through surface = Qin / e0

= (0.00000310) / (8.854 x 10^-12)

= 3.50 x 10^5 N m^2 / C
