The discussion revolves around understanding the concept of electric flux through surfaces, particularly in the context of a calculus course. The original poster expresses uncertainty about the flux being zero for both surfaces and seeks clarification on the topic.
The conversation is ongoing, with participants exploring different interpretations of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding relevant equations, but there is a clear need for more foundational understanding from the original poster.
Participants mention the challenges of self-teaching in an online school environment, indicating a lack of formal instruction on the topic, which may affect their grasp of the concepts being discussed.
Pippa said:I have attached a file with my question.
From what i see the flux for both surfaces will be 0.
I am unsure and need a little of explaining
Pippa said:well I have never learned any relevant equations this is more a logic question I think. Like this is calc 3 so its just touching on this topic
Pippa said:I need more than a hint since I am attending online school and i have to teach all the material to myself. So I basically learn the concepts through examples. For some reason I can't grasp this concept and need som explaining. I have not attended classes so hints are of no use to me
