Question
A charge q is placed at the centre of a cube, the magnitude of flux through one of its faces will be: ans. q q / 6 6qq / 3 Previous Marked for Review Next
Solution
The electric flux through a closed surface surrounding a charge is given by Gauss's law, which states that the total of the electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity. In this case, the charge is enclosed in a cube.
The total flux Φ through the cube is given by Φ = q/ε, where ε is the permittivity.
However, the cube has 6 faces and the charge is symmetrically placed, so the flux will be evenly distributed through each face.
Therefore, the flux through one face of the cube will be Φ/6 = q/(6ε).
So, the correct answer is q/6ε.
