A point charge q is located at the center of a cube whose sides are of length a. If there are no other charges in this system, what is the electric flux through one face of the cube?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\phi_E=\frac{q}{6\epsilon_o}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given: A charge q is enclosed within the cube

The length of the one side of cube = a

Now, according to the Gauss Law the net flux ([tex]\phi_E [/tex]) through the closed surface containing the charge q is:

[tex]\phi_E=\oint \vec{E}.\vec{ds}=\frac{q_o}{\epsilon_o}[/tex]

where, [tex]\epsilon_o}[/tex] is the permittivity

This electric flux is for the 6 faces of the cube

thus, for the one face of the cube the electric flux will be [tex]\phi_E=\frac{q}{6\epsilon_o}[/tex]
