In a cuboid of dimension 2 L × 2 L × L , a charge q is placed at the centre of the surface S having area of 4 L 2 . The flux through the opposite surface to S is given by
Options
- Aq 12 ∈ 0
- Bq 3 ∈ 0
- Cq 2 ∈ 0
- Dq 6 ∈ 0
Correct answer
D. q 6 ∈ 0
Step-by-step solution
Assume a similar cuboid on top of the given cuboid to make symmetry about charge. Thus, it becomes a cube of length 2 L . Flux passing through whole cube is ϕ = q ∈ 0 (Gauss's Law). Since, total faces are 6 , so flux passing through shaded face = q 6 ∈ 0 .
