As shown in figure, a cuboid lies in a region with electric field E = 2{x}^{2}\overset{^}{i} - 4y\overset{^}{j} + 6\overset{^}{k}N{C}^{- 1}. The magnitude of charge within the cuboid is nε0Cn{ε}_{0}C.

The value of nn is ______ (if dimension of cuboid is 1×2×3m31 \times 2 \times 3{m}^{3})

As shown in figure, a cuboid lies in a region with electric field E = 2 x ^ 2 ^ i - 4y ^ j + 6 ^ k N C ^ - 1 . The

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given:

\overset{\to}{E} = 2{x}^{2}\overset{^}{i} - 4y\overset{^}{j} + 6\overset{^}{k}

As shown in figure, a cuboid lies in a region with electric field E = 2 x ^ 2 ^ i - 4y ^ j + 6 ^ k N C ^ - 1 . The

For top and bottom faces, as value of x=0 and y=0x = 0 \text{ and } y = 0, electric field becomes constant and therefore net flux through these two faces will be zero(ϕz=0{ϕ}_{z} = 0).

Now, Ex=2x2{E}_{x} = 2{x}^{2}, Ey=−4y{E}_{y} = - 4y and Ez=6{E}_{z} = 6.

Change in net flux through face at x=1 and at x=0 parallel to y-z plane can written as, ϕx=(2×12)×(2×3)−0=12{ϕ}_{x} = \left(2 \times {1}^{2}\right) \times \left(2 \times 3\right) - 0 = 12.

Similarly, net flux through face at y=2 and y=0 parallel to x-z plane can be written as, ϕy=−(4×2)×(1×3)−0=−24{ϕ}_{y} = - \left(4 \times 2\right) \times \left(1 \times 3\right) - 0 = - 24

ϕnet=12−24=−12{ϕ}_{net} = 12 - 24 = - 12

Using Gauss's law,

ϕnet=qε0{ϕ}_{net} = \dfrac{q}{{ε}_{0}}

⇒∣q∣=12ε0⇒ \left|q\right| = 12{ε}_{0}
