Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{6 \epsilon_{0}} \mu \mathrm{Vm}, \quad \frac{\mathrm{Q}}{3 \epsilon_{0}} \mu \mathrm{Vm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By using Gauss's Law.
It is given as
\(\Phi=\oint \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s}=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{0}}\)
Now, the flux passing through all the six surfaces would be
\(\Phi=6 \phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{0}}\)
And the flux passing through each surface would be
\(\phi=\frac{q}{6 \in_{0}}\)
