Consider a uniform electric field N/C. Calculate the net flux of this field through a cube of side 20 cm oriented so that its faces are parallel to the coordinate planes.
List the known values with units.
Identify the concept governing net flux for a closed surface without internal charge.
Set up the evaluation of the flux on the relevant faces.
Show the sum of the fluxes.
Include units.
Use Gauss's law to find charge from field.
A conducting sphere of radius 10 cm has an unknown charge. If the electric field 20 cm from the center of the sphere is N/C and points radially inward, what is the net charge on the sphere?
