A point charge +Q is placed just outside an imaginary hemispherical surface of radius R as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

  1. A The circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential
  2. B The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is -Q2ε0 1-12
  3. C Total flux through the curved and the flat surfaces is Qε0
  4. D The component of the electric field normal to the flat surface is constant over the surface
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is -Q2ε0 1-12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Every point on circumference of flat surface is at equal distance from point charge Hence circumference is equipotential.
