NEET Physics Electric Flux MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a right circular cylinder of length 20 cm and radius 5 cm with its axis along the x-axis, centered at the origin. An electric field is uniform and in the positive x direction for positive x, and uniform with the same magnitude but in the negative x direction for negative x. If E = 200 i^\hat{i} N/C for x > 0 and E = -200 i^\hat{i} N/C for x < 0, what is the total electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder?

Question diagram
A

0 Nm²/C

B

1000 Nm²/C

C

-1000 Nm²/C

D

2000 Nm²/C

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The electric flux through the curved surface of a cylinder is zero because the electric field is parallel to the surface, contributing no component perpendicular to it.
