A charge q is located at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through any face is
Options
- A4 q 6 (4 ₀ )
- Bq 6 (4 ₀ )
- Cq 6 (4 ₀ )
- D2 q 6 (4 ₀ )
Correct answer
A. 4 q 6 (4 ₀ )
Step-by-step solution
According to Gauss's theorem, electric flux through the cube (closed surface), = q ₀ Since, cube has six surfaces and all the faces are symmetrical, therefore electric flux through any face ^ = q 6 ₀ = 4 q 6 (4 ₀ )
