    Gauss's Law - electric flux through a spherical shell

    Homework Statement A spherical shell of radius 4 m is placed in a uniform electric field with magnitude 7020 N/C. Determine the total electric flux through the shell. Answer in units of N · m^2/C. Homework Equations Gauss's Law The Attempt at a Solution I thought this would be as simple as...

    Electric field / net charge on a cylindrical shell

    Ya, sorry. Okay thanks! I'm not sure why my answer's coming out wrong...I guess I'll just show my teacher my work and see what she says haha

    Electric field / net charge on a cylindrical shell

    We're doing Gauss's law, so I'm assuming the approximation is okay. I did EA=Q/\epsilon and set the A to h*2\pir (r being the r of the Gaussian surface, .203m) It wasn't right...what am I doing wrong?

    Electric field / net charge on a cylindrical shell

    Homework Statement A cylindrical shell of radius 8.1 cm and length 247 cm has its charge density uniformly distributed on its surface. The electric field intensity at a point 20.3 cm radially outward from its axis (measured from the midpoint of the shell ) is 41800 N/C. Given: ke =8.99×10^9...
