JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance NEET PYQ - Electrostatics and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    A charge q is located at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through any face is:   [AIPMT 2003]

    A) \[\frac{\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]

    B) \[\frac{q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]

    C) \[\frac{2\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]

    D) \[\frac{4\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Key Idea: Gauss's law states that, the net electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge inside the closed surface divided \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\].
                Thus, from Gauss's law
                            \[\phi =\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]
                This is the net flux coming out from cube.
                Since, a cube has \[\phi \] sides so electric flux through any face is
                            \[\phi '=\frac{\phi }{6}=\frac{q}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]
