The electric flux passing through a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r = 1 m having a charge +q at its center is 175.353 Nm2/C. Now, we replace the spherical Gaussian surface with a cubical one keeping the charge at its center. If the length of the cube sides is d = 2 m, then the value of the electric flux passing through each face of the cube is ? Blank 1. Calculate the answer by read surrounding text. Nm2/C?
Solution :-
To solve the problem we will use the Gauss's theorem which states that the electric flux passing through any closed surface is
where is the charge enclosed by the surface and is the free space permitivity
So the electric flux passing through each surface of the cube is
