Question
A point charge q is at the point x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. An imaginary hemispherical surface is made by starting with a spherical surface of radius R centered on the point x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 and cutting off the half in the region z<0. The normal to this surface points out of the hemisphere, away from its center. Calculate the electric flux through the hemisphere if q = 5.00 nC and R = 0.100 m.

Answer:
Explanation:
Use the Coulomb’s law. According to it, the flux through entire sphere would be
where, q is the total charge enclosed in the sphere and is the absolute permittivity.
Thus, the flux through the hemisphere would be half of it i.e.
