A cylinder contains a charge Q.The flux through the curved side of the container is 3$\pi$kQ.What is the flux through the ends of the cylinder?
A) 3$\pi$ kQ
B) 5$\pi$ kQ
C) 9$\pi$ kQ
D) $\pi$ kQ
E) 0.0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total flux through a closed surface enclosing a charge Q is given by Q/ε0. 
Since the curved side of the cylinder has a flux of 3πkQ/ε0, the flux through each end of the cylinder must also be 3πkQ/ε0 in order to satisfy the total flux of Q/ε0. Therefore, the answer is (D) F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 kQ.
