  1. Question⇒   A hemispherical surface of radius R is located in a UNIFORM electric field that is parallel to the axis of the hemisphere what is the magnitude of the electric flux through the hemisphere surface?

Explanation:

  • Since number of field lines ENTERING from circular side is equal to number of field lines LEAVING the hemispherical surface, net flux is 0.
  • therefore (Flux)h + (flux)C = 0 ——→ 1[* (flux)h means flux from hemispherical surface and (flux)c means flux from circular surface]
  • Therefore, (flux)h = - (flux)c ———→ 2
  • Flux = E.A [ Where E and A are vectors ]
  • Flux = E A cos θ
  • (Flux)c = EA cos π [ Because field and surface area vector are anti parallel]
  • (flux)c = E πR^2 (-1) ———→ 3 [ Because area of circular surface is πR^2 ]
  • From equation 2 and 3
  • (flux)h = - (- EπR^2)
  • => (Flux)h = EπR^2
  • Hope this helped !
