A fifth arrangement (which would be labeled e) is like that in d except the rod in the fourth quadrant has charge −Q. Rank the five arrangements according to the magnitude of the electric field at the center of curvature, greatest first.

- *61. ssm A cube is located with one corner situated at the origin of an x, y, z coordinate system. One of the cube's faces lies in the x, y plane, another in the y, z plane, and another in the x, z plane. In other words, the cube is in the first octant of the coordinate system. The edges of the cube are 0.20 m long. A uniform electric field is parallel to the x, y plane and points in the direction of the +y axis. The magnitude of the field is 1500 N/C. (a) Using the outward normal for each face of the cube, find the electric flux through each of the six faces. (b) Add the six values obtained in part (a) to show that the electric flux through the cubical surface is zero, as Gauss' law predicts, since there is no net charge within the cube.arrow_forwardplaced in a uniform electric field E of magnitude 20 N/C.
