Question
CBSEENPH12047791

A charge q is located at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through any face is

Solution

A.

According to Gauss's theorem, electric flux through the cube (closed surface)

          

q = total charged enclosed by surface S

The law implies that the total electric flux through a closed surface is zero if no change is enclosed by the surface.

Since, cube has six surfaces and all the faces  are symmetrical, therefore electric flux through any face
