The electric flux from cube of side \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) is '\(\Phi\)' When the side of the cube is made \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) and the charge enclosed by the cube is made one third of the original value, then the flux from the bigger cube will be :

  1. A \(9 \Phi\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{\Phi}{3}\)
  3. C \(\Phi\)
  4. D \(3 \Phi\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\dfrac{\Phi}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Gauss Law, the electric flux \(\Phi\) through a closed surface is given by \(\Phi = \dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}\), where \(q_{enclosed}\) is the total charge enclosed by the surface. The initial flux is \(\Phi = \dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\), where \(q\) is the…
