RE-NEET 2024 Physics Charge Distribution MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium

A metal cube of side 5 cm is charged with 6 µC. The surface charge density on the cube is

A

0.125 × 10⁻³ C m⁻²

B

0.25 × 10⁻³ C m⁻²

C

4 × 10⁻³ C m⁻²

D

0.4 × 10⁻³ C m⁻²

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The surface charge density σ\sigma is given by σ=QA\sigma = \frac{Q}{A}, where Q=6×106Q = 6 \times 10^{-6} C and A=6×(0.05)2A = 6 \times (0.05)^2 m². Calculating gives σ=4×103\sigma = 4 \times 10^{-3} C m⁻².
