A cubical volume is bounded by the surfaces x=0,x=a,y=0,y=a,z=0,z=ax = 0, x = a, y = 0, y = a, z = 0, z = a. The electric field in the region is given by \overset{\to}{E} = {E}_{0}x\overset{^}{i}. Where E0=4×104NC−1m−1{E}_{0} = 4 \times {10}^{4}{NC}^{- 1}{m}^{- 1}. If a=2cma = 2cm, the charge contained in the cubical volume is Q×10–14CQ \times {10}^{– 14}C. The value of QQ is ______.

(Take ϵ0=9×10−12C2N−1m−2{ϵ}_{0} = 9 \times {10}^{- 12}{C}^{2}{N}^{- 1}{m}^{- 2})

A cubical volume is bounded by the surfaces x = 0, x = a, y = 0, y = a, z = 0, z = a . The electric field in the region

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

A cubical volume is bounded by the surfaces x = 0, x = a, y = 0, y = a, z = 0, z = a . The electric field in the region

Given here, electric field, \overset{\to}{E} = {E}_{0}x\overset{^}{i}

Here, the flux passes mainly through surface areas, ABCDandEFGHABCDandEFGH. As the surfaces AEFBandCGHDAEFBandCGHD are parallel to the electric field, so flux for these surfaces are zero. Again in EFGHEFGH, a=0a = 0, thus, electric field is zero.

Hence, the flux only passes through the surface are ABCDABCD.

The net flux is ϕnet=ϕABCD=E0a⋅a2{ϕ}_{net} = {ϕ}_{ABCD} = {E}_{0}a \cdot {a}^{2}

Using Gauss's law, qenϵ0=E0a3\dfrac{{q}_{en}}{{ϵ}_{0}} = {E}_{0}{a}^{3}

⇒qen=E0ε0a3⇒ {q}_{en} = {E}_{0}{ε}_{0}{a}^{3}

=4×104×9×10−12×8×10−6= 4 \times {10}^{4} \times 9 \times {10}^{- 12} \times 8 \times {10}^{- 6}

=288×10−14C= 288 \times {10}^{- 14}C

Hence, the value of Q=288Q = 288.
