Electric Flux & Gauss's Law

The electric field in a certain region is acting radially outward and is given by E = Ar. A charge contained in a sphere of radius 'a' centred at the origin of the field, will be given by

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. On the sphere r=ar = a: E=AaE = Aa, radially outward.
  2. ϕ=Aa⋅4πa2=4πAa3\phi = Aa\cdot4\pi a^2 = 4\pi Aa^3
  3. q=ε0ϕ=4πε0Aa3q = \varepsilon_0\phi = 4\pi\varepsilon_0Aa^3, so the answer is (a).
