Electric Charges And Fields

Question
CBSEENPH12039223

A charge ‘q’ is placed at the centre of a cube of side l. What is the electric flux passing through each face of the cube? 

Solution

Using Gauss theorem,
straight ϕ space equals space integral straight E with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top. ds with rightwards arrow on top space equals space straight q over straight epsilon subscript straight o

Total space flux space through space all space faces comma space
straight ϕ space apostrophe space equals space 6 space straight ϕ space

So comma

6 space straight ϕ space space equals space straight q over straight epsilon subscript straight o space
rightwards double arrow straight ϕ space space equals space fraction numerator straight q over denominator 6 space straight epsilon subscript straight o end fraction
