Q.

A charged shell of radius R carries a total charge Q. Given ϕ as the flux of electric field through a closed cylindrical surface of height h, radius r & with its center same as that of the shell. Here center of cylinder is a point on the axis of the cylinder which is equidistant from its top & bottom surfaces. Which of the following are correct.

a

If h>2R and r=3R5 then ϕ=Q5ε0

b

If h<8R5 and r=3R5 then ϕ=0

c

If h>2R and r>R then ϕ=Qε0

Detailed Solution

For Option (A)

Question Image

Since h>2R and r=3R5, so we get

sinα=rR=35 cosα=45

Since ϕ=2Q2ε01-cosα           … (1)

=Q5ε0

Please note that a factor of 2 is used in equation (1), because we have two surfaces i.e., AB and CD of the shell that are enclosed by the cylinder.

For Option (B)

h<8R5 and r=3R5

h<2R and r<R

Question Image

Qenclosed=0 ϕ=0

For Option (C)

h>2R and r>R

Question Image

Qenclosed=Q ϕ=Qε0

For Option (D)

h>2R and r=4R5 i.e., r<R

Question Image

Qenclosed=Q1-cosα

Since, sinα=rR=45

cosα=35 ϕ=2Q2ε01-cosα ϕ=Qε01-35 ϕ=2Q5ε0
