Given:
The charge, q = 8.85 micro coulomb
To Find:
The total number of electric lines of force that radiates outward from this charge in vacuum.
Calculation:
- The total no of electric field lines passing through an area is known as electric flux.
- So, we have to calculate the electric flux radiating through the charge.
- Let us suppose that there is a Gaussian surface completely covering the charge,
- Then applying Gauss's law to the condition, we get:
φ = q / ε₀
⇒ φ = 8.85 × 10⁻⁶ / 8.85 × 10⁻¹²
⇒ φ = 10⁶
- So, there will be 1 million (10⁶) electric lines of force that radiates outward from 8.85 micro coulomb of charge in vacuum.
