Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout a spherical insulating shell. The net electric flux in N .m²/C through the outer surface of the shell is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gauss's law states that the net electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed by the surface divided by the permittivity of free space. In this case, the charge is distributed uniformly throughout the spherical insulating shell, so the net charge enclosed by the outer surface of the shell is Q. The permittivity of free space is F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 m²/C. Therefore, the net electric flux through the outer surface of the shell is Q/F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 m²/C.
