Question

Three charges are placed inside a basketballI. If the charges are 2.40 nC, -1.36 nC and 0.480 nC, respectively, what is the electric flux through the basketball?
N- m2/c

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given Information:-

Three charges inside the basketball is

$q_{1} = 2.40 n C, q_{2} = - 1.36 n C, q_{3} = 0.480 n C$

Required:-

We need to calculate the electric flux through the basketball.

Formula:-

From Gauss's theorem we know that, electric flux through any closed surface is equal $\frac{1}{ε_{0}}$ to times the total charge enclosed by the surface.

$ϕ = \frac{q_{e n c l o s e d}}{ε_{0}}$

$ε_{0}$ is the permittivity in free-space.
