1. Electric Charges and Fields
hard

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

$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}A{a^2}$

B

$A$${\varepsilon _0}{a^2}$

C

$\;4\pi {\varepsilon _0}A{a^3}$

D

$\;{\varepsilon _0}A{a^2}$

(AIPMT-2015)

Solution

According to question, electric field varies as

$E=A r$

Here $r$ is the radial distance.

At $r=a, E=A a………(i)$

Net flux emitted from a spherical surface of radius $a$ is $\phi_{\mathrm{net}}=\frac{q_{e n}}{\varepsilon_{0}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad(A a) \times\left(4 \pi a^{2}\right)=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}} \quad[\text { Using equation }(\mathrm{i})]$

$\therefore \quad q=4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} A a^{3}$
