The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total outgoing electric flux from a spherical surface that encloses a cube with charges located at its corners. We will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Charges The charges located at the corners of the cube are: - \( Q_1 = 1 \mu C \) - \( Q_2 = -7 \mu C \) - \( Q_3 = -4 \mu C \) - \( Q_4 = 10 \mu C \) - \( Q_5 = 2 \mu C \) - \( Q_6 = -5 \mu C \) - \( Q_7 = -3 \mu C \) - \( Q_8 = 6 \mu C \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Charge Enclosed We need to sum all the charges to find the total charge enclosed within the spherical surface. \[ Q_{\text{total}} = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4 + Q_5 + Q_6 + Q_7 + Q_8 \] Substituting the values: \[ Q_{\text{total}} = 1 + (-7) + (-4) + 10 + 2 + (-5) + (-3) + 6 \] Calculating step-by-step: 1. \( 1 - 7 = -6 \) 2. \( -6 - 4 = -10 \) 3. \( -10 + 10 = 0 \) 4. \( 0 + 2 = 2 \) 5. \( 2 - 5 = -3 \) 6. \( -3 - 3 = -6 \) 7. \( -6 + 6 = 0 \) So, the total charge enclosed \( Q_{\text{total}} = 0 \mu C \). ### Step 3: Apply Gauss's Law According to Gauss's Law, the electric flux \( \Phi \) through a closed surface is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0} \] Where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. Since \( Q_{\text{total}} = 0 \): \[ \Phi = \frac{0}{\epsilon_0} = 0 \] ### Conclusion The total outgoing electric flux from the spherical surface is \( 0 \, \text{Vm} \). ### Final Answer The total outgoing flux from the spherical surface is \( 0 \, \text{Vm} \). ---
