Question

a.) A cylinder of radius a = 7.7 cm and height h = 10.4 cm is aligned with its axis along the y-axis as shown. What is the total flux that passes through the cylindrical surface? Enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cylinder and a negative number if the net flux enters the cylnder. 1 = -4.2 C/cm

c.) What is the total flux that now passes through the cylindrical surface? Enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cylinder and a negative number if the net flux enters the cylnder.

e.) What is the total flux that now passes through the cylindrical surface? Enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cylinder and a negative number if the net flux enters the cylnder.

Explanation / Answer

3)

a) Net charge elcosed by the cyllider, Qin = lamda1*h

= -4.2*10^-6*0.104

= -4.368*10^-7 C

Net elctric flux = Qin/epsilon

= -4.368*10^-7/(8.854*10^-12)

= -4.93*10^4 N.m^2/C

b)

E_xp = lamda1/(2*pi*epsilon*a) + lamda2/(2*pi*epsilon*a/2)

= -4.2*10^-6/(2*pi*8.854*10^-12*0.077) + 12.6*10^-6/(pi*8.854*10^-12*0.077)

= 4.90*10^6 N/C

c) Net charge elcosed by the cyllider, Qin = (lamda1 + lamda2)*h

= (-4.2*10^-6 + 12.6*10^-6)*0.104

= 8.736*10^-7 C

Net elctric flux = Qin/epsilon

= 8.736*10^-7/(8.854*10^-12)

= 9.87*10^4 N.m^2/C

d) E_xp = lamda1/(2*pi*epsilon*1.5*a) + lamda2/(2*pi*epsilon*a/2)

= -4.2*10^-6/(2*pi*8.854*10^-12*1.5*0.077) + 12.6*10^-6/(pi*8.854*10^-12*0.077)

= 5.23*10^6 N/C


e) Net charge elcosed by the cyllider, Qin = (lamda1 + lamda2)*h

= (-4.2*10^-6 + 12.6*10^-6)*0.104

= 8.736*10^-7 C

Net elctric flux = Qin/epsilon

= 8.736*10^-7/(8.854*10^-12)

= 9.87*10^4 N.m^2/C
