The sphere and ellipsoid in FIGURE Q24.9 surround equal
Chapter 24, Problem 24.27(choose chapter or problem)
The sphere and ellipsoid in FIGURE Q24.9 surround equal charges. Four students are discussing the situation. Student 1: The fluxes through A and B are equal because the average radius is the same. Student 2: I agree that the fluxes are equal, but thats because they enclose equal charges. Student 3: The electric field is not perpendicular to the surface for B, and that makes the flux through B less than the flux through A. Student 4: I dont think that Gausss law even applies to a situation like B, so we cant compare the fluxes through A and B.
