Question:

A point charge q is kept at the corner of a cube. What is the flux through each side of the cube?

Options:

q/εo

q/8εo

q/24εo

None of the above

Correct Answer:

q/24εo

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: q/24εo

Total flux =q/εo

8 cubes share → flux per cube =q/8εo

3 faces lie in the plane of the charge → zero flux

Remaining 3 faces share equally

Flux per face= q/24εo
