The total electric flux through a closed cylindrical (length = 1.2 m, diameter = 0.20 m) surface is equal to –5.0 N ⋅ m2/C. Determine the net charge within the cylinder.

The net charge within the cylinder is (-44.25 pC)

Explanation:

Given that,

Total electric flux,

Length of the cylinder, l = 1.2 m

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 0.2 m              

We know that the Gauss's law of electrostatics gives the relation between electric flux and the net charge. It is given by :

q is net charge within the cylinder

So, the net charge within the cylinder is (-44.25 pC). Hence, this is the required solution.            

explanation:

the masses of the objects and the distance between them
