Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating electric flux through specific radii in a system of three concentric spherical shells with varying charge distributions. The shells are defined at radii of 1m, 2m, and 3m, with respective charge densities of 2 micro C/m², -4 micro C/m², and 5 micro C/m².

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of Gauss's law to determine the flux through the specified radii based on the net charge within those shells. There is a mention of needing to adjust for permittivity.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided links to resources that may assist in understanding the problem. One participant indicates they have resolved their issue after reviewing the provided information, suggesting that guidance has been helpful.

Contextual Notes

The original poster expresses urgency and uncertainty about the appropriate formulas to use, indicating a need for clarification on the concepts involved in calculating electric flux.

Please Help ...Urgent ! Don't know how to solve

1. Homework Statement [/b]

3 concentric spherical shells r = 1, r = 2, and r = 3m and have charge distributions 2micro C/m^2, -4microC/m^2, and 5 microC/m^2.

Calculate the flux through r = 1.5m and r = 2.5m

How to Do? please help...don't know use which formula

The idea is that the flux trough the radii given will be given according to net charge contained inside - adjusted by ε of course.
 


thanks for helping i already solve the question...Just i made a mistake and now the problem is solved with yours helpful link...once again thank you
