Part (a) Enter an expression for the electric flux De at the surface of the van in terms of the total charge on the van.
Use Gauss's law and the definition of electric flux to enter an expression for the average magnitude of the electric field Ey at the surface of the
van. Assume the electric field is constant over the surface of the van and let A represent the total surface area of the van. Your expression should be in terms of the total
charge on the van and the surface area.
Part (c) Assume the loose power line came to rest on a small hatchback car which has each of its three dimensions equal to exactly one half of the
dimensions of the van. The power line deposits the same amount of charge Qv on the hatchback car as it did on the van. Calculate the average electric field En
newtons per coulomb, at the surface of the hatchback car.

- If the electric field is known everywhere on a closed surface, the quantity of charge enclosed by the surface can be calculated. T or Farrow_forwardAn electric point charge of Q = 21.3 nC is placed at the center of a sphere with a radius of r = 46.1 cm. The sphere in this question is only a mathėmatical surface, it is not made out of any physical material. What 'is the electric flux through the surface of this sphere? Submit Answer Tries 0/99 This same point charge is now moved out from the center of the sphere by a distance of 18.9 cm. What is the electric flux through the surface of the sphere now? Submit Answer Tries 0/99arrow_forwardCould you please explain, why the electric field will be along - direction?arrow_forward
- Kenny is a student in engineering physics, he wants to study about the infinite long cable that has an insulating cylinder with radius a with uniform charge volume density 2p surrounded by a uniform conducting material with outer radius of 2a and zero total charge, as he drawn in Figure Q1.1. 2a Figure Q1.1 a) Using Gauss's law, find the electric field inside the insulating cylinder. Draw a Gaussian surface and indicate your choice of a coordinate system. b) Find the inner and outer charge surface density of the conducting cylinder, oin and Tout. c) Determine the work required to move a charge qo from r₁ = 4a to rf = 1.57a where r is the distance from the cylindrical axis.arrow_forwardI have tried 16.7x10^3, 16.7x10^4, and 1.365x10^8 and those are all wrong for the first part. I know that the second part is 14.3 hr. I need to know the km/s. Thank you!!arrow_forward+Q R 1. Suppose that a charged rod of uniform charge density A is formed into a semi- circle of radius R. Find the net electric field produced at the center at point P where the left half of the semi-circle holds a total charge of -Q whilc the other half is +Q as shown above. Express the clectric ficld as a vector format (E).arrow_forward
