The electric field in a certain region is acting radially outward and is given by $E =Ar.$ A charge contained in a sphere of radius $'a'$ centred at the origin of the field, will be given by

A disk of radius $a / 4$ having a uniformly distributed charge $6 C$ is placed in the $x-y$ plane with its centre at $(-a / 2,0,0)$. A rod of length $a$ carrying a uniformly distributed charge $8 C$ is placed on the $x$-axis from $x=a / 4$ to $x=5 a / 4$. Two point charges $-7 C$ and $3 C$ are placed at $(a / 4,-$ $a / 4,0)$ and $(-3 a / 4,3 a / 4,0)$, respectively. Consider a cubical surface formed by six surfaces $x=\pm a / 2, y=\pm a / 2, z=\pm a / 2$. The electric flux through this cubical surface is

Is electric flux scalar or vector ?

The flat base of a hemisphere of radius $a$ with no charge inside it lies in a horizontal plane. A uniform electric field $\vec E$ is applied at an angle $\frac {\pi }{4}$ with the vertical direction. The electric flux through the curved surface of the hemisphere is

The magnitude of the average electric field normally present in the atmosphere just above the surface of the Earth is about $150\, N/C$, directed inward towards the center of the Earth . This gives the total net surface charge carried by the Earth to be……$kC$ [Given ${\varepsilon _0} = 8.85 \times {10^{ – 12}}\,{C^2}/N – {m^2},{R_E} = 6.37 \times {10^6}\,m$]
