Question

onsider the following image.

(a) Find the net electric flux through the closed spherical surface in a uniform electric field shown in Figure a. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: E and ?.)
? =

(b) Find the net electric flux through the closed cylindrical surface shown in Figure b. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: E and ?.)
? =

(c) What can you conclude about the charges, if any, inside the cylindrical surface?

Explanation / Answer

the net electric flux is 0 b/c if u look at it, all flux going in is balanced by equal amounts of flux going out. since negative charges accumulate at the originating end of the electric field and positive charges accumulate at the other end as seen in this picture
