A point charge +Q is located 1 m below the x-y plane. What is the total electric flux passing through the x-y plane? I know the answer should be Q/2 but how?
How will the flux lines be arranged around the charge? What symmetry is there?Hammed said:A point charge +Q is located 1 m below the x-y plane. What is the total electric flux passing through the x-y plane? I know the answer should be Q/2 but how?
An electrostatic problem is a situation in which there is a build-up of electric charge on an object or surface, resulting in the attraction or repulsion of other charged objects.
An electrostatic problem involves stationary charges, while an electromagnetic problem involves moving charges and the interactions between them. In electrostatics, the electric field is constant, whereas in electromagnetics it is time-varying.
Some common examples of electrostatic problems include static cling between clothes, the shock you feel when touching a door handle after walking on carpet, and lightning strikes during a thunderstorm.
Electrostatic problems can be solved using mathematical equations and principles, such as Coulomb's Law and Gauss's Law, to calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field and the resulting forces on charged objects.
Electrostatic problems can be dangerous in certain situations, such as when there is a build-up of static electricity near flammable materials, which can lead to sparks and fires. Additionally, electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic equipment.
