How many electrons make up one Coulomb of negative charge?

Using the formula for quantisation of electric charge,
                 q = ne,     n = q/e

           n=11.6×10-19 = 6.25 × 1018.

Therefore, 6.25 × 1018  electrons make 1 Coulomb of charge.

Show that electric field due to line charge at any plane is same in magnitude and directed radially upward.


A thin long straight line L of charge having uniform linear charge density λ is shown by figure. By symmetry, it follows that electric field due to line charge at distance r in any plane is same in magnitude and directed radially upward.

If the radius of the Gaussian surface enclosing a charge is halved, how does the electric flux through the Gaussian surface change?

According to Gauss's law, Electric flux ΦE is given by

ϕE = E. ds = Qε0

where Q is total charge enclosed in the closed surface. 
On changing the radius of sphere, the electric flux through the Gaussian surface remains same as the net charge enclosed within the surface is same.
