A point charge -5 μC is at a distance 5 cm directly above the centre of a square of side 10 cm. The magnitude of electric flux through this square is |
$\frac{5×10^{-6}}{3ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ $\frac{5×10^{-5}}{6ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ $\frac{6×10^{-6}}{5ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ $\frac{5×10^{-6}}{6ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ |
$\frac{5×10^{-6}}{6ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{5×10^{-6}}{6ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ Using Gauss's law, $\phi_{total}=\frac{q_{enc}}{ε_0}$ flux through the square (one face), $\phi_{square}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{q}{ε_0}$ $∴\phi_{square}=\frac{1}{6}\frac{5×10^{-6}}{ε_0}NC^{-1} m^2$ |
