What is the total flux φ that now passes through the cylindrical surface? enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cyl

inder and a negative number if the net flux enters the cylnder. what is ex(p), the value of the x-component of the electric field produced by by the line of charge at point p which is located at (x,y) = (a,0), where a = 9.2 cm?

The overall flux through the cylindrical surface is determined as

$\phi = \frac{q}{epsilon_0}$

Here q represents the charge contained within the surface

To find the value of q

$q = \lambda* L$

Consequently, we have

$\phi = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

This gives us the total flux

Now, utilizing Gauss's law, we can determine the electric field

$\int E.dA = \phi$

$\int E.dA = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E* 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda * L}{epsilon_0}$

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Using the aforementioned expression to find the electric field at the specified location
