Electrostatics Question 662

Question: A uniformly charged and infinitely long line having a liner charge density λ is placed at a normal distance y from a point O. Consider a sphere of radius R with O as the center and R > y . Electric flux through the surface of the sphere is

Options:

A) Zero

B) 2λRε0

C) 2λR2y2ε0

D) λR2+y2ε0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Electric flux sE.ds=qinε0

qin is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian Surface, which, in the present case, is the surface of the given sphere, As shown, length AB of line lies inside the sphere, in

ΔOOA , R2=Y2+(OA)2

OA=R2y2 and AB=2R2y2

Charge on length AB is 2R2y2×λ

Therefore, electric flux is SE.ds=2λR2y2ε0
