A point charge is placed just outside an imaginary hemispherical surface of radius R as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
Options
- AThe circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential
- BThe electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is $- \dfrac{Q}{2{ε}_{0}}\left(1 - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)
- CTotal flux through the curved and the flat surfaces is
- DThe component of the electric field normal to the flat surface is constant over the surface
Correct answer
A. The circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential
Step-by-step solution
Every point on circumference of flat surface is at equal distance from point charge
Hence circumference is equipotential.
Flux passing through curved surface = - flux passing through flat surface.
Flux through curved surface
Note: Flux through surface can be calculated using concept of solid angle.
