Physics-Electric Flux

NEET Physics Electric Flux MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A right circular cylinder has its axis along the x-axis, with one face at x = +10 cm and the other at x = -10 cm. If the electric field is uniform at E = 200 N/C in the positive x direction for x > 0 and E = -200 N/C for x < 0, what is the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder?

A

0 Nm²/C

B

200 Nm²/C

C

400 Nm²/C

D

800 Nm²/C

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder is zero because the electric field lines are parallel to the surface and do not pass through it.
