A thin, circular plate of radius B, uniform surface charge density, and total charge Q, is centered on the origin and lies in the x-y plane. What is the electric flux ΦE through a sphere of radius r, also centered on the origin, as a function of r? Consider both (a.) r > B and (b.) r < B:

**Educational Content: Calculation of Electric Flux Through a Sphere**

**Context:** 
A thin, circular plate of radius \( B \), uniform surface charge density, and total charge \( Q \), is centered on the origin and lies in the x-y plane. We need to calculate the electric flux \( \Phi_E \) through a sphere of radius \( r \), also centered on the origin, as a function of \( r \). Consider both \( (a) \, r > B \) and \( (b) \, r < B \).

---

**(a.) What is the electric flux through a sphere of radius \( r \) when \( r > B \)?**

- Given: 
  - \( Q = 18.8 \, \text{pC} = 18.8 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C} \)
  - \( B = 7.00 \, \text{cm} \)
  - \( \varepsilon_0 = 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{(Nm}^2\text{)} \)

- Electric flux formula:
  \[
  \Phi_E = \frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}
  \]

**(b.) What is the electric flux through a sphere of radius \( r \) when \( r < B \)?**

To calculate this, begin by answering the following symbolic questions:

1. **Surface charge density, \( \sigma \):**
   - \( \sigma = \frac{Q}{\pi B^2} \)

2. **Charge enclosed, \( q_{\text{in}} \), by the sphere of radius \( r \):**
   - \( q_{\text{in}} = \sigma \times \pi r^2 \)
   - \( q_{\text{in}} = \frac{Q}{B^2} r^2 \)

- **Electric flux formula (when \( r < B \)):**
  \[
  \Phi_E = kr^2
  \]

- **Value of constant \( k \):**
  - \( k = \frac{Q}{B^2 \varepsilon_0} \)

---

**Graph Explanation:**

- The graph plots electric flux \( \Phi_E \) as a function of sphere radius \( r \).
