Using Gauss’s law. According to Gauss’s law, the flux must equal the amount of charge within the volume enclosed by this surface, divided by the permittivity of free space. When you do the calculation for a cylinder of length L, you find that \(q_{enc}\) of …

According to Gauss's law, the total flux out of the sphere is \(\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}\), and since the charge is at the center of the sphere, the flux is uniform over the whole surface, which means that one fourth of the total flux must be going out of the top section, giving the answer immediately.
Different Gaussian surfaces with the same outward electric flux. The statement that the net flux through any closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed is known as Gauss’s law. Mathematically, Gauss’s law is expressed as. (Gauss’s law) where q …
Examples of use of Geometrical Symmetries and Gauss’ Law a) Charged sphere – use concentric Gaussian sphere and spherical coordinates b) Charged cylinder – use coaxial Gaussian cylinder and cylindrical coordinates

For spherical symmetry, the Gaussian surface is also a sphere, and Gauss’s law simplifies to [latex]4\pi {r}^{2}E=\frac{{q}_{\text{enc}}}{{\epsilon }_{0}}[/latex]. For cylindrical symmetry, we use a cylindrical Gaussian surface, and find that Gauss’s law simplifies to [latex]2\pi rLE=\frac{{q}_{\text{enc}}}{{\epsilon }_{0}}[/latex].

One good way to determine whether or not your problem has spherical symmetry is to look at the charge density function in spherical coordinates, ρ (r, θ, ϕ) ρ (r, θ, ϕ). If the charge density is only a function of r, that is ρ = ρ (r) ρ = ρ (r), then you have spherical symmetry.

Within the insulating material the volume charge density is given by: \(\rho(R) = \alpha/R\), where \(\alpha\) is a positive constant and \(R\) is the distance from the axis of the cylinder. Choose appropriate gaussian surfaces and use Gauss’s law to find the electric field (magnitude and direction) everywhere. Solution

With our choice of a spherical surface as \partial V ∂ V, the vector d\vec {A} dA is always in the \hat {r} r direction. Explicitly in spherical coordinates, \begin {aligned} \int_0^ {2\pi} d\phi \int_0^\pi d\theta (r^2 \sin \theta) \vec {g} (\vec {r}) \cdot \hat {r} = -4\pi G M \end {aligned} ∫ 02π dϕ∫ 0π dθ(r2sinθ)g(r)⋅ r = −4πGM.
Different Gaussian surfaces with the same outward electric flux. The statement that the net flux through any closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed is known as Gauss’s law. Mathematically, Gauss’s law is expressed as. (Gauss’s law) is the net charge inside the surface.
