From Gauss law,
Total flux produced from q in α angle
For hemisphere, α =
From equation (i)
n = 3
Alternatively, φ ∝ no of electric field lines passing through surface q is point charge which has uniformly distributed electric field lines thus half of electric field lines will pass through hemisphere & other half will pass through conical surface.
