Question 17





An infinitely long line charge having a uniform charge per unit length l lies a distance d from point O as shown in Figure P24.17. Determine the total electric flux through the surface of a sphere of radius R centered at O resulting from this line charge. Consider both cases, where (a) R < d and (b) R > d.
