A charge 'Q' C is placed at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through two opposite faces of the cube is ( ₀ = permittivity of free space)
Options
- AQ 6 ₀
- BQ 3 ₀
- CQ ₀
- DQ 2 ₀
Correct answer
B. Q 3 ₀
Step-by-step solution
According to Gauss's law, the total electric flux through the cube is _ total = Q ₀ Since the charge is placed at the centre of the cube, the flux is symmetrically distributed across all six faces. The electric flux through a single face is ₁ = Q 6 ₀ The electric flux through two opposite faces is ₂ = 2 Q 6 ₀ = Q 3 ₀ Answer: Q 3 ₀
