Some planetary scientists have suggested that the planet Mars has an electric field somewhat similar to that of the earth, producing a net electric flux of 3.63 X 1016 N • m2/C at the planet s surface. Calculate:
(a) The total electric charge on the planet;
(b) The electric field at the planet s surface (refer to the astronomical data inside the back cover);
(c) The charge density on Mars, assuming all the charge is uniformly distributed over the planet s surface. |
