A uniformly charged conducting sphere of radius 1.3 m has a surface charge density of \( 70 \, \mu\text{C m}^{-2} \). What is the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere ?

  1. A \( 5.9 \times 10^8 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-1} \)
  2. B \( 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-1} \)
  3. C \( 1.7 \times 10^8 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-1} \)
  4. D \( 6.4 \times 10^{-8} \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-1} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 1.7 \times 10^8 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-1} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Phi_E = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{\sigma (4 \pi R^2)}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{(70 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C m}^{-2})(4 \pi (1.3 \text{ m})^2)}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2 \text{ N}^{-1} \text{ m}^{-2}} = 1.7 \times 10^8 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-1} \)
