Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

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

A

2πq/6(4πε₀)

B

4πq/6(4πε₀)

C

πq/6(4πε₀)

D

q/6(4πε₀)

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

By Gauss's law, the total flux through the cube is q/ε₀. Since the cube has six faces, the flux through one face is q/6ε₀.
