- A square surface of side length L and parallel to the y-z plane is situated in an electric field given by E(x, y, z) = E[i+ a(yj + zk)/V(y + z) ]. The square's sides are parallel to the y- and z-axes and it is centered on the x-axis at position Py. Its normal vector points in the positive x-direction. a is a unitless constant. Refer to the figure. The x-axis points out of the screen. Pr Part (a) Integrate to find an expression for the total electric flux through the square surface in terms of defined quantities and enter the expression. Part (b) For L = 8.2 m, E, = 309.9 V/m, and a = 9.9, find the value of the flux, in units of volt•meter.arrow_forwardSuppose we've managed to set up an electric field that can be described by the function E→=w1y2i+w2z2j+w3x2k, where w1=8 N/(C⋅ m2), w2=9 N/(C⋅ m2), and w3=9 N/(C⋅ m2). Let's look at a rectangular box in the Cartesian coordinate axes, shown below, with dimensions a=2.5 m along the x-axis, b=6 m along the y-axis, c=4 m along the z-axis.

We would like to find the electric field vector at a point P whose coordinates are (4 m, 7 m, 4 m). The "unit vector" is a vector that points from S to P that has length of 1 (or "unity"). What is its y component, in meters? (Your answer must be accurate to within 10%.)arrow_forward

- QUESTION 3 Problem Using the method of integration, what is the electric field of a uniformly charged thin circular plate (with radius R and total charge Q) at xo distance from its center? (Consider that the surface of the plate lies in the yz plane) Solution A perfect approach to this is to first obtain the E-field produced by an infinitesimal charge component of the charge Q. There will be several approaches to do this, but the most familiar to us is to obtain a very small shape that could easily represent our circular plane. That shape would be a ring. So for a ring whose charge is q, we recall that the electric field it produces at distance x0 is given by E = (1/ )(x0q)/ 24,2) Since, the actual ring (whose charge is dg) we will be dealing with is an infinitesimal part of the circular plane, then, its infinitesimal electric field contribution is expressed as = (1/ )(x0 We wish to obtain the complete electric field contribution from the above equation, so we integrate it from 0 to R…arrow_forwardFind the flux in N.m2.C-1 of a constant electric field E = (5.85x10^3) i + (2.712x10^3) j + (-7.4910x10^3) k N/C, passing through an area defined by the area vector A = (3.633x10^0) i + (1.5050x10^0) j + (-1.9920x10^0) k m2.arrow_forwardConsider a right triangle ABC with the right triangle at vertex B.
