A uniformly charged conducting sphere of diameter 14 cm has surface charge density of \(40 \mu \mathrm{Cm}^{-2}\). The total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere is nearly (Permittivity of free space \(=8.85 \times 10^{-12}\) SI unit)

  1. A 40 kWb
  2. B 140 kWb
  3. C 240 kWb
  4. D 280 kWb
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 280 kWb

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electric flux \(\phi=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\varepsilon_0}=\frac{4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \sigma}{\varepsilon_0}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{4 \times 3.14 \times\left(7 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2 \times 40 \times 10^{-6}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}} \\ & =\frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 49 \times 10^{-4} \times 4 \times 10^{-5}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}} \\ & =\frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 49 \times 4 \times 10^3}{8.85} \\ & =278 \times 10^3 \approx 280 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~Wb} \\ & =280 \mathrm{kWb}\end{aligned}\)
