Figure (1)

From Figure (1), it is shown that, the electric fields are perpendicular to the faces of the cube. Therefore, use Gauss law for net flux through the closed Gaussian surface.

Write the expression for net flux through the closed Gaussian surface.

    ϕE=EdA                                                                                                             (I)

Here, E is the electric field, ϕE is the net flux through closed Gaussian surface and A is the surface area.

Write the expression for net electric flux through cube.

    ϕE=ϕE(top)+ϕE(bottom)+ϕE(right)+ϕE(left)+ϕE(into)+ϕE(out)                                              (II)

Conclusion:

Substitute 25.0N/C for E, and L2 for A in equation (I) to calculate ϕE(top).

    ϕE(top)=EAcos(180°)=(EA)=(25.0N/C)(1.00m2)=25.0Nm2/C

Substitute 15.0N/C for E, and L2 for A in equation (I) to calculate ϕE(bottom)

    ϕE(bottom)=EAcos(0°)=EA=(15.0N/C)(1.00m2)=15.0Nm2/C

Substitute 35.0N/C for E, and L2 for A in equation (I) to calculate ϕE(right).

    ϕE(right)=EAcos(180°)=(EA)=(35.0N/C)(1.00m2)=35.0Nm2/C

Substitute 20.0N/C for E, and L2 for A in equation (I) to calculate ϕE(left).

    ϕE(left)=EAcos(0°)=EA=(20.0N/C)(1.00m2)=20.0Nm2/C

Substitute 20.0N/C for E, and L2 for A in equation (I) to calculate ϕE(into).

    ϕE(into)=EAcos(0°)=EA=(20.0N/C)(1.00m2)=20.0Nm2/C

Substitute 20.0N/C for E, and L2 for A in equation (I) to calculate ϕE(out).

    ϕE(out)=EAcos(0°)=EA=(20.0N/C)(1.00m2)=20.0Nm2/C

Substitute 25.0Nm2/C for ϕE(top), 15.0Nm2/C for ϕE(bottom), 35.0Nm2/C for ϕE(right), 20.0Nm2/C for ϕE(left), ϕE(into) and ϕE(out) in equation (II) to calculate ϕE.

    ϕE=(25.0+15.035.0+20.0+20.0+20.0)Nm2/C=15.0Nm2/C

Therefore, net electric flux through the cube is 15.0Nm2/C.

(b)

To determine

The net charge inside the cube.

Answer to Problem 32P

The charge enclosed within the Gaussian surface (cube) is 0.133×109C.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the charge enclosed within the Gaussian surface (cube) is.

    q=ε0ϕE                                                                                                                 (II)

Here, q is the charge enclosed within the Gaussian surface (cube), ε0 is the permittivity of free space and ϕE is the net electric flux through the cube.

Conclusion:

Substitute 8.85×1012C2/Nm2 for ε0, 15.0Nm2/C for ϕE in Equation (II) to calculate q.

    q=(8.85×1012C2/Nm2)(15.0Nm2/C)=0.133×109C

Therefore, the charge enclosed within the Gaussian surface (cube) is 0.133×109C.

(c)

To determine

Whether the net charge could be a point charge.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 32P

No, the net charge can’t be a point charge.

Explanation of Solution

No, single positive charge’s magnitude is q=1.602×1019C, which is not equal to the obtained net charge q=0.133×109C.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the net charge can’t be a point charge.
