A charge q is placed at the corner of a cube of side a . The electric flux through the cube is
Options
- Aq ₀
- Bq 3 ₀
- Cq 6 ₀
- Dq 8 ₀
Correct answer
D. q 8 ₀
Step-by-step solution
According to Gauss's law, the electric flux through a closed surface is equal to 1 ₀ times the net charge enclosed by the surface. Since, q is the charge enclosed by the surface, then the electric flux = q ₀ . If charge q is placed at a corner of cube, it will be divided into 8 such cubes. Therefore, electric flux through the cube is ^ = 1 8 ( q ₀ )
