In the figure, a hollow hemisphere is in a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 3.0 kN/C. The circular rim has a circle of radius R = 12 cm and is aligned perpendicular to the field. Find the electric flux through the curved hemispherical surface (not the complete closed surface). You can either do a double integral over the curved surface (ugh) or find a clever way to find the flux through that side using Gauss's Law.

Question

find the flux through a curved hemisphere.  Enter your result in units of N*m2/C

In the figure, a hollow hemisphere is in a uniform electric
field of magnitude E = 3.0 kN/C. The circular rim has a
circle of radius R = 12 cm and is aligned perpendicular to
the field. Find the electric flux through the curved
hemispherical surface (not the complete closed surface).
You can either do a double integral over the curved surface (ugh) or find a clever
way to find the flux through that side using Gauss's Law.
