QuizCluster Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Total flux by Gauss's Law

According to Gauss's Theorem, total electric flux enclosed by a closed symmetrical surface is Φ_total = q_enclosed / ε₀ = q / ε₀.

Step 2: Flux through a single face

A cube has 6 identical symmetrical faces. Due to spherical symmetry of the central charge, flux is equally divided among all 6 faces: Φ_face = Φ_total / 6 = q / (6ε₀).

Final Answer
Φ = q / (6ε₀) N·m²/C
Key Formulas & Mathematical Laws
  • Gauss's Law: ∮ E · dA = q_enclosed / ε₀
  • Symmetrical face flux: Φ_face = q / (6ε₀)
Important Core Concept

Flux through each face is independent of the side length L of the cube as long as the charge remains centered inside.

Common Student Pitfall

Confusing total cube flux (q/ε₀) with single face flux (q/6ε₀).
