A hemispherical surface (half of a spherical surface) of radius R is located in a uniform electric field of magnitude E that is parallel to the axis of the hemisphere. What is the magnitude of the electric flux through the hemisphere surface? A) πR²E B) 4πR²E/3 C) 2πR²E/3 D) πR²E/2 E) πR²E/3

Question

The electric flux through a hemispherical surface in a uniform electric field parallel to its axis is given by the formula Φ = πR^2E, where R is the radius of the hemisphere and E is the magnitude of the electric field. This formula directly matches choice A.
