Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the total electric flux emanating from a closed surface enclosing an alpha particle, we can use Gauss's Law. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Charge of the Alpha Particle An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since protons have a charge of +1 elementary charge (e), the total charge of the alpha particle is: \[ Q = 2e \] where \( e \) is the charge of an electron, approximately \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) coulombs. ...
