A hollow cylinder has a charge q coulomb within it. If is the electric flux associated with the surface B , the flux linked with the plane surface A will be
Options
- A2
- B₀ -
- C1 2 ( q ₀ - )
- Dq 2 ₀
Correct answer
C. 1 2 ( q ₀ - )
Step-by-step solution
The correct option is (C). Concept: Gauss Law: Net flux through an enclosing surface is proportional to the charge inside, or _ T = q ₀ , where q is the charge inside, ₀ the free permitivity of the space and _ T is the total flux The flux associated with the lateral surface B is . Due to symmetry of the system, the flux associated with surface A should be the same as surface C . Let the flux associated with the surface A be ₀ . Therefore, the total flux is ₀+ + ₀= q ₀ So, the flux associated with the surface A is ₀
