 Electric Field due to a Uniformly Charged Insulating Sphere  For a uniformly charged insulating sphere with charge Q and radius R: 1. Inside the sphere (r < R): E = k * Q * r / R³ (field increases linearly with distance) 2. On the surface (r = R): E = k * Q / R² 3. Outside the sphere (r > R): E = k * Q / r² (field decreases with distance, like a point charge) where k = 1 / (4πε₀). The electric field behaves differently inside and outside the sphere due to the uniform charge distribution.

 Electric Flux Electric flux measures the amount of electric field passing through a surface. It's calculated as: Φ = E · A where Φ is electric flux, E is electric field, and A is area vector. Key Points: 1. Dot Product: Electric flux depends on the angle between electric field and area vector. 2. Unit: Measured in Nm²/C (Newton-meters squared per Coulomb). 3. Gauss's Law: Electric flux is used to relate electric field to enclosed charge. Electric Flux Example Imagine a flat surface with an area of 2 m² placed in a uniform electric field of 3 N/C, perpendicular to the surface. To calculate electric flux (Φ): Φ = E × A = 3 N/C × 2 m² = 6 Nm²/C If the surface is tilted, the flux would decrease due to the angle between the electric field and area vector.
