But If I we have to ratio at the end then the other terms like 2, π won't cancel out? Any support would be appreciatedkuruman said:
Not sure what you mean, but I feel you have not understood kuruman's response. What is the surface area of a sphere radius r? Use that instead of the πr2 that you used.Pratik007789 said:
Yes, do that and if something cancels out, so be it. You will have a simpler expression to deal with.haruspex said:
Electric flux is a measure of the flow of an electric field through a given area. It is a scalar quantity that represents the number of electric field lines passing through a given surface area.
Electric flux is calculated by taking the dot product of the electric field vector and the area vector. The formula for electric flux is Φ = E * A * cosθ, where E is the electric field strength, A is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the electric field and the surface.
The SI unit of electric flux is volt-meters (V·m), but it can also be expressed in other units such as N·m²/C or Wb (webers).
Calculating the electric flux through a hole in a sphere allows us to determine the amount of electric field passing through the surface of the sphere. This is useful in understanding the behavior of electric fields and can help in solving problems related to electric charges and forces.
Yes, the electric flux through a hole in a sphere can still be calculated if the electric field is not uniform. In this case, the area vector must be divided into small areas, and the dot product of the electric field and each small area must be calculated separately. The sum of these dot products will give the total electric flux through the hole in the sphere.
