NEET Physics Electric Flux MCQ Question
A right circular cylinder of length 20 cm and radius 5 cm is centered at the origin with its axis along the x-axis. The electric field is uniform and directed along the x-axis, with E = 200 ˆ i N/C for x > 0 and E = –200 ˆ i N/C for x < 0. What is the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder?
0 Nm²/C
500 Nm²/C
1000 Nm²/C
2000 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, resulting in no component of the electric field passing through the curved surface.
