A1 A The figure shows a cylindrical Gaussian surface intersecting a sheet of charge. The total charge on the sheet is 2 q and the area of the sheet is A = 3 m^2. If the cross sectional area of the cylinder is A' = 0.07 m^2, then what is the net electric flux through the Gaussian cylinder (in units of g/ɛn.

Step 1
As Gauss' Law states the flux is directly proportional to the charge contained in the volume.
Assuming that the charge on sheet is uniformly distributed, its density is,
The charge contained in cylinder is then given by,
