Problem

In a thought experiment, Jindra managed to catch an electric charge

Q = 1.00 \cdot 10^{-6}

C into a cylinder which does not interact with the charge. The charge remains stationary in the centre of the cylinder. The cylinder has radius

r = 4.00

cm and height

v = 6.00

cm. Determine the electric flux through the top base of the cylinder.
