Question Number 33435 by rahul 19 last updated on 16/Apr/18

In a region an electric field exist in a given  direction and it passes through a circle  of radius R normally. The magnitude  of electric field is given as :  E = E_0  (1− (r/R)). where r is the distance  from centre of circle .Find electric   flux through plane of circle within it.

φ=∮E^� .dA^�      =∫_0 ^(  R) E_0 (1−(r/R))(2πrdr)     =2πE_0 ∫_0 ^(  R) (r−(r^2 /R))dr     =2πE_0 ((R^2 /2)−(R^2 /3))  = 2πE_0 ((R^2 /6))     φ = E_0 (((πR^2 )/3)) .

$$\phi=\oint\bar {{E}}.{d}\bar {{A}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\:{R}} {E}_{\mathrm{0}} \left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{{r}}{{R}}\right)\left(\mathrm{2}\pi{rdr}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\mathrm{2}\pi{E}_{\mathrm{0}} \int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\:{R}} \left({r}−\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{R}}\right){dr} \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\mathrm{2}\pi{E}_{\mathrm{0}} \left(\frac{{R}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{{R}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{3}}\right)\:\:=\:\mathrm{2}\pi{E}_{\mathrm{0}} \left(\frac{{R}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{6}}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\phi\:=\:{E}_{\mathrm{0}} \left(\frac{\pi{R}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{3}}\right)\:. \\ $$

Sir , u have done by considering   elemental ring and then integrating  from 0→R. But will it not form a disc?  and here circle is given( i mean hollow  from inside).

by mentioning a circle  flux is  asked to be calculated through the  circular flat plane area whose  boundary is this circle.  Flux is a surface integral.

So here if in place of circle , disc   is mentioned answer will remain same,  right ?
