उत्तर
A charge Q is placed at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through one of its faces is `underlinebb(Q/(6epsi_0))`.
Explanation:
Assuming the cube as a Gaussian surface, the total flux passing through the cube of side l can be given as,
`phi = Q/epsi_0`
Flux through each face of the cube: As the charge is placed symmetrically to each face of the cube, thus electric flux passing through each face is equal.
∴ Electric flux passing through each face,
`phi^' = phi/6 = Q/(6epsi_0)`

An arbitrary surface encloses a dipole. What is the electric flux through this surface?
If the total charge enclosed by a surface is zero, does it imply that the elecric field everywhere on the surface is zero? Conversely, if the electric field everywhere on a surface is zero, does it imply that net charge inside is zero.
In finding the electric field using Gauss law the formula `|vec"E"| = "q"_"enc"/(epsilon_0|"A"|)` is applicable. In the formula ε0 is permittivity of free space, A is the area of Gaussian surface and qenc is charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. This equation can be used in which of the following situation?
