A charge q is placed at the center of one of the surfaces of a cube. The flux linked with the cube is:
- q2 0
- Zero
- q4 0
- q8 0
Answer
(1) q2 0
Solution
Place an identical cube on the other side of that face ⇒ the two cubes together enclose q: total flux = q 0 (Gauss's law)
both cubes are placed symmetrically about the charge, each gets half
= q2 0
Answer: (1)
