Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
the flux of a uniform electric field through the area if the field
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept
The electric flux through a surface is the amount of electric field that penetrates the surface. Electric flux through a given element with area vector
2) Formulae
Electric flux,
Where
A=Area of given surface
3) Given
Area vector,
Electric field vector in case a,
Electric field vector in case b,
4) Calculations
The electric flux through the given surface,
a. If
Plugging the values of
=
=
b. If
As dA does not have k components, the dot product of
Therefore,
Conclusion:
Electric flux through the given surface is found using the values of

- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm.
