A positive charge \(Q\) is situated at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through any face of the cube is (in SI units)

  1. A \(\frac{Q}{6 \varepsilon_{0}}\)
  2. B \(4 \pi Q\)
  3. C \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{Q}{6 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{Q}{6 \varepsilon_{0}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The positive charge \(Q\) is situated at the centre of a cube According to Gauss theorem, the flux from any closed surface \[ \phi_{E}=\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_{0}} \] Cube has 6 faces, so electric flux from any face \(\phi_{z}=\frac{Q}{6 \varepsilon_{0}}\)
