Calculating Flux Linkage for Sphere at a Given Distance | Electric Flux Question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the flux linkage for a sphere of radius R located at a distance x0 on the x-axis. The original poster questions the direction of the electric field and its relation to flux, assuming parallel field lines entering and leaving the sphere. It is clarified that with a charge Q enclosed in the sphere, the electric field lines are parallel to the x-axis. The conversation emphasizes that according to Gauss's law, the total flux through the sphere is directly related to the net charge contained within it. Understanding this relationship is crucial for calculating the flux linkage in this scenario.

It would have been better if you told the direction(s) of the Field , or isn't there any field here? , Flux is the electric field through unit area. I assume that the elEctric field lines entering the sphere are all parallel and in the same direction.Then the number of lines entering the sphere= No. of lines leaving the sphere , and hence the there is no net flux.

I am unfamiliar with the term "flux linkage" in this context. Can you restate your question?
 
I am so sorry. I forgot that a charge Q is enclosed in the sphere and the electric field lines are parallel to x-axis from left to right.and flux linkage means simply flux.
 
Gauss's law relates the total flux through a closed surface (like this sphere) to the net charged contained within it. That's all you need.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
