[help] finding the total electric flux

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the total electric flux and the relationship between electric flux density (D) and electric field (E). The user is confused about which formula to apply for calculating electric flux and initially attempted to use volume integration. However, it is clarified that integration should be performed over surface area rather than volume. The correct approach involves applying Gauss's theorem instead of performing direct integration. This highlights the importance of understanding the principles of electric flux in relation to surface integrals.

Hello Guys !

iam studing the electric flux and how the relationship between D ( electric flux density ) and E ( elecric field)


but i found this problem and i don't know which formula should i use to solve it to find the electric flux

i know that Q=(Psi)=the electric flux but i don't know how to use this to solve this problem

i tried to use the integration of the volume of the sphere which is r^2 sin(ceta)*dr*d(ceta)*d(phi)

but i didn't reach to the number in the solution ...I need your help !

You don't integrate over volume, you integrate over surface area.
 
hmmm , this means that i will integrate r^2 sin(ceta) *d(ceta)*d(phi) ??
 
You don't actually perform any integration. You use Gauss's theorem thruout.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
