12th Class Physics Electric Charges and Fields Question Bank MCQ - Electric Charges and Fields

  • question_answer
    A point charge q is placed at a distance a/I directly above the centre of a square of side a. The electric flux through the square is:

    A) \[\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]                                  

    B) \[\frac{q}{\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{q}{4{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]                                

    D) \[\frac{q}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d) \[\frac{q}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] An imaginary cube can be made by considering charge 'q' at the centre and given square is one of its face. From Gauss Law, \[\phi =\frac{{{Q}_{in}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] This is the flux passing through all the six surfaces. \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{1}{6}\]th of this flux would pass through one surface.
