Answer:
The flux through the surface of the cube is
Solution:
As per the question:
Edge of the cube, a = 8.0 cm =
Volume Charge density,
Now,
To calculate the electric flux:
(1)
where
= electric flux
= permittivity of free space
Volume Charge density for the given case is given by the formula:
(2)
Volume of cube,
Thus
Thus from eqn (2), the total charge is given by:
Now, substitute the value of 'q' in eqn (1):
On comparing values , we see that student which has the largest percent error is <u>A. Student 4: 9.61 m/s2 .</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Here, we have Four students measured the acceleration of gravity. The accepted value for their location is 9.78m/s2. Let's calculate which student’s measurement has the largest percent error :
<u>A. Student 4: 9.61 m/s2 </u>
Percentage of error = %.
<u>B. Student 3: 9.88 m/s2 </u>
Percentage of error = %.
<u>C. Student 2: 9.79 m/s2 </u>
Percentage of error = % .
<u>D. Student 1: 9.78 m/s2</u>
Percentage of error = % .
On comparing values , we see that student which has the largest percent error is <u>A. Student 4: 9.61 m/s2 .</u>
