    A charge q is located at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through any face is

    A)  \[\frac{4\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]

    B)                         \[\frac{\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]       

    C)         \[\frac{q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]              

    D)         \[\frac{2\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Gausss theorem, electric flux through the cube (closed surface), \[\phi =\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] Since, cube has six surfaces and all the faces are symmetrical, therefore electric flux through any face \[\phi =\frac{q}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=\frac{4\pi q}{6(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}})}\]
