A charge \(Q\) is placed at a distance \(a/2\) above the centre of the square surface of edge \(a\) as shown in the figure. The electric flux through the square surface is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{Q}{{6{\varepsilon _0}}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When cube is of side a and point charge \(Q\) is at the center of the cube then the total electric flux due to this charge will pass evenly through the six faces of the cube.
So, the electric flux through one face will be equalto \(1 / 6\) of the total electric flux due to this charge.
Flux through \(6\) faces \(=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_{0}}\)
\(\therefore\) Flux through \(1\) face, \(=\frac{Q}{6 \in_{0}}\)

JEE Mains 2021 Hard - A mass \(m = 1.0\,kg\) is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released, the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is \(500\,N/m.\) What is the amplitude \(A\) of the motion, so that the mass \(m\) tends to get detached from the pan ? (Take \(g = 10\,m/s^2\) ). The spring is stiff enough so that it does not get distorted during the motion.
