The correct Answer is:
To find the electric flux through the area of a circle due to a uniformly charged thread, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Configuration**: - We have a long uniformly charged thread oriented along the axis of a circle with radius \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \). - The charge per unit length on the thread is given as \( \lambda = 16 \epsilon_0 \). 2. **Identify the Electric Field**: - The electric field \( E \) due to an infinitely long charged thread at a distance \( y \) from the thread is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 y} \] - Here, \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. 3. **Determine the Area Element**: - The area element \( dA \) for a thin ring of radius \( y \) and thickness \( dy \) is: \[ dA = 2 \pi y \, dy \] 4. **Calculate the Electric Flux**: - The electric flux \( \Phi \) through the circle can be calculated using: \[ \Phi = \int E \cdot dA \] - Since the electric field has a component along the radial direction (x-direction) and the area vector is perpendicular to the surface (y-direction), we only consider the x-component of \( E \): \[ d\Phi = E \cdot dA = E \cdot (2 \pi y \, dy) \] 5. **Substituting for Electric Field**: - Substitute \( E \) into the flux equation: \[ d\Phi = \left(\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 y}\right) (2 \pi y \, dy) = \frac{\lambda}{\epsilon_0} \, dy \] 6. **Integrate Over the Circle**: - Now we integrate from \( y = 0 \) to \( y = R \): \[ \Phi = \int_0^R \frac{\lambda}{\epsilon_0} \, dy = \frac{\lambda}{\epsilon_0} \int_0^R dy = \frac{\lambda}{\epsilon_0} [y]_0^R = \frac{\lambda R}{\epsilon_0} \] 7. **Substituting Known Values**: - Substitute \( \lambda = 16 \epsilon_0 \) and \( R = 1 \, \text{m} \): \[ \Phi = \frac{16 \epsilon_0 \cdot 1}{\epsilon_0} = 16 \, \text{Vm} \] 8. **Final Result**: - The electric flux through the circle area is: \[ \Phi = 8 \, \text{Vm} \]
