NEET Physics Electric Flux MCQ Question
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?
0 Nm²/C
200 Nm²/C
400 Nm²/C
800 Nm²/C
Correct Answer
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.
