Question
A thin straight infinitely long conducting wire having charge density λ is enclosed by a cylindrical surface of radius r and length l, its axis coinciding with the length of the wire. Find the expression for the electric flux through the surface of the cylinder.
✓

Answer

Charge enclosed by the cylindrical surface $\text{q} = \lambda l $

Flux $\varphi =\frac{\text{q}}{\varepsilon_{0}}$

$ = \frac{\lambda l }{\varepsilon_{0}}$

Alternate Answer

$\varphi = \oint\overrightarrow{\text{E}}.\text{d}\overrightarrow{\text{S}} = \frac{\text{q}}{\varepsilon_{0}}$

$\varphi = \frac{\lambda l }{\varepsilon_{0}}.$

A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude $10^{-29} C m$. A mole of this substance is polarised (at low temperature) by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude $10^6 V m ^{-1}$. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of $60^{\circ}$. Estimate the heat released by the substance in aligning its dipoles along the new direction of the field. For simplicity, assume $100 \%$ polarisation of the sample.
