[help] finding the total electric flux

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the total electric flux and the relationship between electric flux density (D) and electric field (E). The user is confused about which formula to apply for calculating electric flux and initially attempted to use volume integration. However, it is clarified that integration should be performed over surface area rather than volume. The correct approach involves applying Gauss's theorem instead of performing direct integration. This highlights the importance of understanding the principles of electric flux in relation to surface integrals.

Hello Guys !

iam studing the electric flux and how the relationship between D ( electric flux density ) and E ( elecric field)


but i found this problem and i don't know which formula should i use to solve it to find the electric flux

i know that Q=(Psi)=the electric flux but i don't know how to use this to solve this problem

i tried to use the integration of the volume of the sphere which is r^2 sin(ceta)*dr*d(ceta)*d(phi)

but i didn't reach to the number in the solution ...I need your help !

You don't integrate over volume, you integrate over surface area.
 
hmmm , this means that i will integrate r^2 sin(ceta) *d(ceta)*d(phi) ??
 
You don't actually perform any integration. You use Gauss's theorem thruout.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
