a

The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is  −Q2ε01−12

b

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

c

Total flux through the curved and the flat surface is Qε0

d

The circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential

Detailed Solution

A) Flux passing through curved surface + Flux passing through flat surface = 0  ϕ=−Q4πε02π1−cosθ Put θ=45° =−Q2∈01−12       B) at x&r is variable: E E⊥=Esinα =kQr2Rr =KQRr3E⊥ is not constant over the surfaceC) 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
