Answer:

0

-723.163841808 Wb

-350.282485876 Wb

Explanation:

[tex]\epsilon_0[/tex] = Permittivity of free space = [tex]8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m[/tex]

when r = 0.625 m the charges lie outside the sphere so q = 0

From Gauss law

[tex]\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow \phi=\dfrac{0}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow \phi=0\ Wb[/tex]

The electric flux is 0

when r = 1.4

[tex]q_2[/tex] will be inside the sphere

[tex]\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow \phi=\dfrac{-6.4\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \phi=-723.163841808\ Wb[/tex]

The electric flux is -723.163841808 Wb

when r = 2.9 both charges lie inside the sphere

[tex]\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow \phi=\dfrac{3.3\times 10^{-9}-6.4\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \phi=-350.282485876\ Wb[/tex]

The electric flux is -350.282485876 Wb

(1) When the radius of the sphere, r₁ = 0.625 m, the total electric flux  through the surface is zero.

(2) When the radius of the sphere, r₂ = 1.4 m, the total electric flux through  the surface is -723.2 Wb.

(3) When the radius of the sphere, r₃ = 2.9 m, the total electric flux through the surface is -350.28 Wb.

The given parameters;

  • point charge, q1 = 3.3 nC at x = 1.9 m
  • second point charge, q2 = -6.4 nC at x = 1.15 m

When the radius of the sphere, r₁ = 0.625 m,

  • Location of the first charge = 1.9 m
  • Location of the second charge = 1.15 m

This shows that two charges are outside the sphere and the total electric flux through a closed surface due to a charge outside that surface is zero.

When the radius of the sphere, r₂ = 1.4 m,

  • only the second charge is within the sphere.

The total electric flux is calculated as;

[tex]\phi = \frac{q_2}{\varepsilon_o} \\\\\phi = \frac{-6.4 \times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}} \\\\\phi = -723.2 \ Wb[/tex]

When the radius of the sphere, r₃ = 2.9 m,

  • both charges are enclosed in the sphere.

The total electric flux due to these points charges is calculated as;

[tex]\phi = \frac{q_1}{\varepsilon _o} + \frac{q_2}{\varepsilon _o} \\\\\phi = \frac{3.3 \times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12} } - \frac{6.4 \times 10^{-9}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}} \\\\\phi = -350 .28 \ Wb[/tex]
