Flux through a Sphere

Electricity and Magnetism Level 2

A charge Q Q is distributed uniformly on a red ring of radius r r . A blue sphere of equal radius r r is constructed at the periphery of the ring as shown such that they pass through each other's centre.

Find the flux of the electric field through the surface of the sphere.

Q ϵ o \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}} Q 4 ϵ o \frac{Q}{4\epsilon_{o}} Q 2 ϵ o \frac{Q}{2\epsilon_{o}} Q 3 ϵ o \frac{Q}{3\epsilon_{o}}

The angle made by the common segment at center is 120° hence charge enclosed is Q/3 Therefore, by gauss' law ø=Q/3ϵ
