Question:

A point charge q is placed at P(0, 0, a). The electric flux through CAB due to the electric field of q is Φ. Then

Options:

$\Phi=\frac{q}{48 \varepsilon_0}$

$\Phi<\frac{q}{48 \varepsilon_0}$

$\frac{q}{48 \varepsilon_0}<\Phi<\frac{q}{24 \varepsilon_0}$

$\Phi>\frac{q}{24 \varepsilon_0}$

Correct Answer:

$\Phi<\frac{q}{48 \varepsilon_0}$

Explanation:

The flux is greater in the nearer half of the square OACB.
