उत्तर
ccording to Gauss's Law, flux passing through any closed surface is equal to `1/∈_0` tin the charge enclosed by that surface.
`=> phi = "q"/∈_0,`
where ϕ is the flux through the closed surface and q is the charge enclosed by that surface.
The charge is placed at the centre of the cube and the electric field is passing through the six surfaces of the cube.vSo, we can say that the total electric flux passes equally through these six surfaces .
Thus, flux through each surface,
`phi ′ = "Q"/(6∈_0)`

In 1959 Lyttleton and Bondi suggested that the expansion of the Universe could be explained if matter carried a net charge. Suppose that the Universe is made up of hydrogen atoms with a number density N, which is maintained a constant. Let the charge on the proton be: ep = – (1 + y)e where e is the electronic charge.
- Find the critical value of y such that expansion may start.
- Show that the velocity of expansion is proportional to the distance from the centre.
