A circular ring has uniform linear charge density σ = + 1 . The ring is parametrized as follows:
x = ( 3 / 5 ) cos α y = ( 3 / 5 ) sin α 0 ≤ α ≤ 2 π z = 2 1
Consider a sphere of radius 1 with its center at the origin. What fraction of the total electric flux through the sphere passes through its upper half ( z > 0 ) ?
Details and Assumptions:
1)
Use outward-facing normal vectors for the sphere
2)
Electric permittivity
ϵ

@Steven Chase it is corrected now.
Thanks. Upvotes have been awarded

@Steven Chase Did you have upvoted all the three or only interesting??
@Steven Chase Did you understand my whole approach??
@Karan Chatrath and @Steven Chase Now my answer is most accurate among you all.
A very nice solution has already been provided by @Lil Doug . I am sharing my numerical approach. I have resorted to evaluating a surface integral without having to deal with any of the algebraic expressions.

Thanks for the solution. What do you get when you increase the resolution? I used the same dividing factor for all parameters. For N = 5 0 0 and N = 1 0 0 0 , I get approximately 0 . 7 6 7 . The latter case is a billion loop iterations, so it takes a bit of time to run.

In all honesty, I did not check multiple resolutions as I should have. I checked for ( d α , d ϕ , d θ ) = π / ( 1 0 0 , 1 0 0 , 1 0 0 ) using which, my answer is 0.7807, and then ( d α , d ϕ , d θ ) = π / ( 1 0 0 0 , 1 0 0 , 1 0 0 ) with which I obtain 0.7771. I took a chance with the latter value and it was correct. I got lucky. Had it not been correct, I would have tried going for N = 1 0 0 0 , which would have taken time to evaluate.
I am upset with one
@Karan Chatrath
and
@Steven Chase
sir.
I don't know with whom but one of them.
Because in my solution i have got one upvote only. So the remaining one sir have not done that.

I don't think the answer is 0.794

@Steven Chase
it means you indirectly wants to say that I have not upvoted your solution.
You should say me before in my solution.
Ok let me check again.

@Talulah Riley – No, I'm directly saying that I don't think the answer is 0.794

@Steven Chase I have uploaded my solution from last 2 hour I think. And you are saying when I said that one of you both have not upvoted.
You are understanding whole situation still you are behaving in a innocent way.
In retrospect, I did not notice the answer, as I should have, but your approach to the problem of converting a triple to a double integral is nice. I will revoke the upvote for now.

@Karan Chatrath Hey sir I have corrected it now.
@Karan Chatrath Sir I want to ask some doubts ? Can I ask know? Give me appointment.

First of all few steps to follow
1 Basically,in my below calculation I am trying to find flux through lower sphere ( z < 0 ) ,so in that case basically i have evaluated the flux through x 2 + y 2 = 1 .Becauss if you think carefully both are same.
2) Using Gauss law we can easily calculate the flux through total sphere ϕ = ϵ 0 q i n s i d e
3) If we substract the flux of ( z < 0 ) from total flux we will get the flux of upper half ( z > 0 )
ϕ T o t a l ϕ z > 0 = 3 . 7 6 9 9 1 1 1 8 2 . 8 9 4 3 5 6 6 8 = 0 . 7 6 7 7 5 1 9 5 5
