Two charges of magnitude -2Q and +Q are located at points (a,0) & (4a,0) resp. . what is the electric flux due to these charges through sphere of radius 3a with its centre at the origin ?

Expert Answer:
According to gauss theorem we know that the electric flux through a closed surface enclosing a charge is equal to 1/ε0 times the magnitude of the charge enclosed.
The charge enclosed by the sphere = -2Q
Therefore in this case the electric flux due to these charges through sphere of radius 3a with its centre at the origin,

- what is flux
- Unit of Electric flux_?
- A point charge is placed at the centre of a closed Gaussian spherical surface of radius r. Electric flux passing through the surface is Φ. How is the electric flux Φ through the surface affected when the following changes are made in turn: (i) The spherical surface is replaced by a cylindrical surface of the same radius? (ii) The point charge is replaced by an electric dipole? Justify your answer in each case.

- A CHARGE IS PLACED AT THE CORNER OF A CUBE. WHAT IS THE NET FLUX COMING FROM THE CUBE?
- A square is placed in a uniform electric field E parallel to the horizontal such that the plane of the square makes an angle of 30° with the field.If the side of the square is a,find the flux through the square wire.
