Calculating the electric flux
Given
- Point Charge (Q) = 3.0 µC
- Length of edge = 90cm
- Permittivity of Free Space (∈₀) = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² F/m
- Electric Flux (Φₑ) = ?
According to Gauss Law, the electric flux is always depends to the amount of point charges. The length of a Gaussian surface is always discarded, as also the point chage is enclosed inside the figure.
Φₑ = Q / ∈₀
Φₑ = 3 x 10⁻⁶ C / 8.85 x 10⁻¹² F/m
Φₑ = 3.38 x 10⁵ N • m² / C
