JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance JEE PYQ-Electrostatics and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    A charge \[Q\] is placed at a distance \[a/2\] above the centre of the square surface of edge \[a\] as shown in the figure.
    The electric flux through the square surface is: [JEE Online 15-04-2018]
               

    A) \[\frac{Q}{3{{\in }_{0}}}\]

    B) \[\frac{Q}{6{{\in }_{0}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{Q}{2{{\in }_{0}}}\]

    D) \[\frac{Q}{{{\in }_{0}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Draw an imaginary square enclosing that point charge at the centre.
    Then from gauss law,\[\phi =\frac{{{Q}_{in}}}{{{\in }_{o}}}\]
    This is the flux passing through all the six surfaces.
    Therefore through one surface, \[\frac{1}{6}th\] of this flux will pass.
