Three charged cylindrical sheets are present in three spaces with σ = 5 at R = 2m, σ = -2 at R = 4m and σ = -3 at R = 5m. Find the flux density at R = 6m.(a) 17/6(b) -17/6(c) 13/6(d) -13/6The question was asked in unit test.This interesting question is from Applications of Gauss Law in portion Electrostatic Fields of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (d) -13/6

The best explanation: The radius R = 6m ENCLOSES all the three Gaussian cylinders.

By Gauss law,ψ = Q

D(2πRL) = σ(2πRL), D(2π X 6) = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 =σ1(2π X 2) + σ2(2π X 4) + σ3(2π X 5), here σ1 = 5, σ2 = -2 and σ3 = -3. We GET D = -13/6 units.
