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)`

A point charge +10 μC is a distance 5 cm directly above the centre of a square of side 10 cm, as shown in the Figure. What is the magnitude of the electric flux through the square? (Hint: Think of the square as one face of a cube with edge 10 cm.)
A thin conducting spherical shell of radius R has charge Q spread uniformly over its surface. Using Gauss’s law, derive an expression for an electric field at a point outside the shell.
State Gauss’s law on electrostatics and drive expression for the electric field due to a long straight thin uniformly charged wire (linear charge density λ) at a point lying at a distance r from the wire.

Five charges q1, q2, q3, q4, and q5 are fixed at their positions as shown in figure. S is a Gaussian surface. The Gauss’s law is given by `oint_s E.ds = q/ε_0`
Which of the following statements is correct?
If `oint_s` E.dS = 0 over a surface, then ______.
- the electric field inside the surface and on it is zero.
- the electric field inside the surface is necessarily uniform.
- the number of flux lines entering the surface must be equal to the number of flux lines leaving it.
- all charges must necessarily be outside the 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 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.
