2. Consider a hollow sphere of radius r with uniform surface charge density +?. (a) (5 pts.) A small triangular pyramid, side length a which is smaller than r, is placed centered completely inside the sphere (see figure a). What is the flux through each face of the triangular pyramid? How do you know it? (b) (10 pts.) A larger triangular pyramid, side length b which is larger than r, completely surrounds the sphere. The center of the sphere and center of the triangular pyramid coincide. What is the flux through each face of the triangular pyramid? Hint: Gauss's law is our friend. (c) (10 pts.) A point charge is to be placed in the center of the sphere/pyramid configuration from part b. What should the magnitude of the charge be to make the total flux through the large triangular pyramid equal ?0??8?r2?? ? (a)
