A cubical volume is bounded by the surfaces . The electric field in the region is given by \overset{\to}{E} = {E}_{0}x\overset{^}{i}. Where . If , the charge contained in the cubical volume is . The value of is ______.
(Take )
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Given here, electric field, \overset{\to}{E} = {E}_{0}x\overset{^}{i}
Here, the flux passes mainly through surface areas, . As the surfaces are parallel to the electric field, so flux for these surfaces are zero. Again in , , thus, electric field is zero.
Hence, the flux only passes through the surface are .
The net flux is
Using Gauss's law,
Hence, the value of .
