A square loop of sides a=1 m is held normally in front of a point charge q=1 C at a distance a2. The flux of the electric field through the shaded region is 5p 1 0 N m2C, where the value of p is . [figure]
Answer
48
Solution
Put q at the centre of a cube of side a; the loop is one face: = q6 0.
[figure]
Symmetry splits the face into 8 equal parts, each 148 0; 5 are shaded
= 548 1 0 p=48
Answer: 48
