Question

A particle with charge Q is located immediately above the center of the flat face of a hemisphere of radius R as shown in the figure below.

    (a) What is the electric flux through the curved surface? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ?0.)
    ?curved =                         
    
    (b) What is the electric flux through the flat face? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ?0.)
    ?curved =

(Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ?0.) What is the electric flux through the flat face? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ?0.)

Explanation / Answer

Gauss's law: The total electric flux through any closed surface is
equal to 1/epsilon times the charge enclosed by the closed surface.

total flux through the closed surface(spshere) = Q/epsilon


flux though hemi sphere curved surface = Q/2*epsilon (incoming flux)

flux through flat surace = -Q/2*epsilon ( out going flux)
