See Question 1 in official CBSE Class 12 Physics Paper (Set 1)
QuizCluster Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Total flux by Gauss's Law

According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux Φ_total through any closed surface is equal to 1/ε₀ times the net charge enclosed within that surface: Φ_total = q_enclosed / ε₀ = q / ε₀.

Step 2: Symmetry analysis of the cube

A cube possesses 6 identical faces. Since the point charge is situated at the exact geometric center, the flux is distributed symmetrically across all 6 faces. Therefore, the flux through any single face is: Φ_face = (1/6) · Φ_total = q / (6 ε₀).

Final Answer
Φ_face = q / (6 ε₀)
Key Formulas & Mathematical Laws
  • Gauss's Law: ∮ E · dA = q_enclosed / ε₀
  • Symmetry rule for n faces: Φ_single_face = Φ_total / n
Important Core Concept

Electric flux depends solely on the enclosed charge and permittivity of free space, completely independent of the dimensions of the Gaussian surface.

Common Student Pitfall

Writing q / ε₀ without dividing by 6 for a single face.
