Answers
Explanation:
Potential energy, stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched. A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.
Given:
Electric field, Eₓ = 5Aₓ + 2B
Constant, A = 10 NC⁻¹ m⁻¹
Constant, B = 5 NC⁻¹ m⁻¹
To Find:
We have to find the electric flux through the cube and the net charge enclosed within the cube.
Solution:
The electric field directed along X direction is given as
Eₓ = 5Aₓ + 2B
The electric field at face M where x = 0 is E₁ = 2B
The electric field at face N where x= 10cm = 0·10 m is
E₂ = 5A× 0·10 + 2B = 0·5 A +2B
The electric flux through the face M is
φ₁ = = E₁S₁ cosπ = -E₁S₁
= -2B×I² where I = 0·01 m
∴ The electric flux through the face M is -2BI²
The electric flux through the face N is
φ₂ = = E₂S₂ cos0 = ( 0·5A + 2B)I²
∴ The electric flux through the face N is ( 0·5A + 2B)I²
Net electric flux, φ = φ₁ + φ₂
= -2BI² + ( 0·5A + 2B)I² = 0·5 AI²
= 0·5 × 10 × 0·10²
= 5 × 10⁻² Vm
∴ Net electric flux, φ = 5 × 10⁻² Vm.
