A charge is placed at the centre of cube of side a then flux linked with one of its given faces will be
Options
- AQ ₀
- BQ 6 ₀
- CQ ₀ a^2
- DQ 4 ₀ a^2 .
Correct answer
B. Q 6 ₀
Step-by-step solution
Gauss's law tells that the total flux through an area enclosing a charge Q is Q ₀ . Now as the cube is having six faces and as we can assume a symmetrical distribution of fluxes among its faces, the flux associated with one of its faces is Q 6 ₀ .
