Pippa said:I have attached a file with my question.
From what i see the flux for both surfaces will be 0.
I am unsure and need a little of explaining
Pippa said:well I have never learned any relevant equations this is more a logic question I think. Like this is calc 3 so its just touching on this topic
Pippa said:I need more than a hint since I am attending online school and i have to teach all the material to myself. So I basically learn the concepts through examples. For some reason I can't grasp this concept and need som explaining. I have not attended classes so hints are of no use to me
Flux is a measure of the flow of a physical quantity through a given surface. It is typically represented by the symbol Φ and can be thought of as the amount of "stuff" passing through a surface per unit time.
The calculation of flux depends on the physical quantity being studied. For example, in the context of electric fields, flux is calculated by taking the dot product of the electric field and the surface area vector. In the context of fluid flow, flux is calculated by multiplying the velocity of the fluid by the surface area perpendicular to the flow.
Flux is directly proportional to the surface area through which the quantity is flowing. This means that as the surface area increases, the flux also increases, assuming all other factors remain constant.
Yes, flux can be negative. This occurs when the physical quantity is flowing in the opposite direction of the chosen surface normal. In other words, the flux is negative if the quantity is flowing out of the surface instead of into it.
Flux is used in a variety of fields, including electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. It is particularly useful in understanding and predicting the behavior of fluids and electromagnetic fields in various situations, such as through pipes or around objects.
