Question

A point charge of magnitude qq is at the center of a cube with sides of length L. What is the electric flux Φ through each of the six faces of the cube? What would be the flux Φ₁ through a face of the cube if its sides were of length L₁?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The number of field lines passing through a particular area is called Electric Flux.

Consider a point charge of magnitude q is placed at the center of a cube with sides of length L. The electric flux is given by the formula as follows :

$ϕ = \frac{q}{ε_{0}}$

Where

q is the charge enclosed in the Gaussian surface

$ε_{0}$ is the permittivity of free space
