    Question

    A cube of side a encloses a point charge q at its

    center. What is the electric flux through one of its faces?
    A q / ╬╡0 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B q / 2╬╡0 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C q / 6╬╡0 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D q / 3╬╡0 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to GaussтАЩs Law , the total electric flux through a closed surface enclosing a net charge ╬жtotal = q / ╬╡0 In this case:

    • A point charge q is placed at the center of a cube .
    • The cube has 6 identical faces , and due to symmetry, the flux is equally distributed through all faces.
    So, the electric flux through one face is: ╬жone face = (1/6).(q / ╬╡0) = q / 6╬╡0 Therefore, the correct answer is option (C).
