                    A charge \[q\mu C\] is placed at the centre of a cube of a side 0.1 m, then the electric flux diverging from each face of the cube is:                                                                                                                                         

    A)                 \[\frac{q\times {{10}^{-6}}}{24{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]     

    B)                 \[\frac{q\times {{10}^{-4}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]          

    C)                 \[\frac{q\times {{10}^{-6}}}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]        

    D)                 \[\frac{q\times {{10}^{-4}}}{12{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: According to Gauss' law, total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to \[\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] rimes the total charge enclosed by the surface.                 From key idea, the electric flux emerging from the cube is                 \[\phi =\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\times \text{charge}\,\,\text{enclosed}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\times q\times {{10}^{-6}}\]                 Since, a cube has six faces, so electric flux through each face is,                 \[\phi '=\frac{\phi }{6}=\frac{1}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\times q\times {{10}^{-6}}=\frac{q\times {{10}^{-6}}}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]
