The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electric Field The electric field is given by: \[ E = \frac{E_0 x}{L} \hat{i} \] where \( E_0 = 5 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \) and \( L = 2 \, \text{cm} = 0.02 \, \text{m} \). ### Step 2: Identify the Volume and Boundaries We need to find the charge contained inside a cubical volume bounded by the surfaces: - \( x = 0 \) - \( x = a \) - \( y = 0 \) - \( y = h \) - \( z = 0 \) - \( z = a \) Given \( a = 1 \, \text{m} \) and assuming \( h = 1 \, \text{m} \) for the y-boundary. ### Step 3: Calculate the Electric Flux Using Gauss's Law, the electric flux \( \Phi \) through a surface is given by: \[ \Phi = \int E \cdot dA \] Since the electric field is only in the x-direction, we will only consider the flux through the surfaces at \( x = 0 \) and \( x = a \). 1. **Flux through \( x = 0 \)**: \[ E(0) = \frac{E_0 \cdot 0}{L} = 0 \] Therefore, the flux through \( x = 0 \) is: \[ \Phi_{x=0} = E(0) \cdot A = 0 \] 2. **Flux through \( x = a \)**: \[ E(a) = \frac{E_0 \cdot a}{L} = \frac{5 \times 10^3 \cdot 1}{0.02} = 2.5 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/C} \] The area \( A \) of the face at \( x = a \) is: \[ A = h \cdot a = 1 \cdot 1 = 1 \, \text{m}^2 \] Thus, the flux through \( x = a \) is: \[ \Phi_{x=a} = E(a) \cdot A = 2.5 \times 10^5 \cdot 1 = 2.5 \times 10^5 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C} \] ### Step 4: Apply Gauss's Law According to Gauss's Law: \[ \Phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] Where \( \epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2 \). Setting the flux equal to the charge divided by \( \epsilon_0 \): \[ \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} = 2.5 \times 10^5 \] Thus, we can solve for \( q \): \[ q = 2.5 \times 10^5 \cdot \epsilon_0 \] \[ q = 2.5 \times 10^5 \cdot 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \] \[ q \approx 2.21 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \] ### Final Answer The charge contained inside the cubical volume is approximately: \[ q \approx 2.21 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C} \] ---
