Question

Consider a rectangular prism of dimensions x = 2.9 m, y = 4 m and z = 3 m. A 1.2 C charge is placed at the center of the prism.  

Determine the flux passing through the surface whose direction is along the positive x-axis.  

ε0 =8,84E-12 C2/Nm2

( Can you draw a sketch in the answer to help you visualize the problem)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let us place the rectangular prism in the coordinate system such that one corner of the prism occupies at the origin.

Step 2

The total flux though the rectangular prism can be computed using the Gauss’s law.

Φtotal=Qenclε0Qencl is the charge enclosed

There are 6 faces for the rectangular prism and their dimensions are given by;
