Problem with electric flux density

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating electric flux density (D) in relation to a charge distribution. In part (a), the charge is determined using the integral of charge density (row(v) * dv). In part (b), the formula D(r) = Q / (4 * π * r²) is applied to find the flux density at a specific distance. In part (c), the flux density is not zero; it decreases with distance from the charge distribution, as confirmed by the solution manual, which reiterates the use of D(r) = Q / (4 * π * r²) for calculations at different distances.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric flux density and charge distributions
  • Familiarity with Gauss's law and its applications
  • Knowledge of integral calculus for charge calculations
  • Basic concepts of electric fields and their relation to distance
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Gauss's law and its implications for electric fields
  • Learn about charge density and its integration over volume
  • Explore the relationship between electric field strength and distance from a charge
  • Investigate the concept of Gaussian surfaces in electrostatics
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, electrical engineering, and anyone studying electrostatics or electric field theory.

hello guys :)
i need your help with this problem

i can understand that in (a) we will use the integral of row(v) * dv to get the charge
and in (b) we will use the formule D(r)=Q/[4*PI*r^2]

but in (C) should it be zero or what ??
and if it should be zero why in the solution manual it uses the formula of D(r)=Q[4*PI*(r^2)] again ?!

i don't know what is the right answer for this ..so i need your help ..Thanks guys :)

No, the answer you have -- ##32.5 \frac{nC}{m^{2}}## -- seems right. The only change in part c is that you're looking farther away from the charge distribution, so there's still going to be electric field there and so the flux density will be nonzero, but since you're farther away from the charge, the density is going to be less.
 
The Gaussian surface area A at r = 20 mm is what multiple of the surface at r = 10 mm? Use that to determine D(20mm)*A(20mm) = D(10mm)*(A(10mm).
