a

The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is  Q2ε0112

b

The component of the electric field normal to the flat surface is constant over the surface

c

Detailed Solution

A) Flux passing through curved surface + Flux passing through flat surface = 0

Question Image

  ϕ=Q4πε02π1cosθ Put θ=45°
 =Q20112
     
 

 

B) at x&r is variable: E
 

Question Image

E=Esinα =kQr2Rr =KQRr3


E is not constant over the surface

C) Total flux through the curved and the flat surface is zero, because enclosed charge is zero.

D)  V=kQr=kQR2 . Circumference is equidistance from charge Q. Therefore it will be equipotential surface
