Answer #1

There should be 4 triangluar surfaces are arranged to make a closed surface that can act like a gaussian suface enclosed charge q.

Total Flux = q/ϵ

or Flux through 4 surfaces = q/ϵ

Flux through each triangle = q/4ϵ

    Gauss’ law states that the electric flux through a closed mathematical surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed by that surface, ΦE∝qenc. The symbol ΦE represents the process of performing an integral of the electric field over the closed surface, ΦE=∮E→⋅dA→. The full mathematical statement of Gauss’s law is: Using the slider control in the simulation, move the center of the surface to the point x = 5 R / 4 and y = 0 . What is the...
