A point charge q is placed at the centre of the hemispherical surface of radius. The flux through the hemispherical surface is: |
$\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$ $\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_0}$ $\frac{2 q}{\epsilon_0}$ zero |
$\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_0}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_0}$ The electric flux through the spherical surface can be calculated using Gauss law- $\phi_{sphere}=\frac{q_{enclosed}}{ε_0}=\frac{q}{ε_0}$ [Gauss law] $⇒\phi_{hemisphere}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{q}{ε_0}=\frac{q}{2ε_0}$ |
