प्रश्न

A charge Q is placed at the centre of a cube. Find the flux of the electric field through the six surfaces of the cube.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

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)`

If there were only one type of charge in the universe, then ______.

  1. `oint_s` E.dS ≠ 0 on any surface.
  2. `oint_s` E.dS = 0 if the charge is outside the surface.
  3. `oint_s` E.dS could not be defined.
  4. `oint_s` E.dS = `q/ε_0` if charges of magnitude q were inside the surface.

Consider a region inside which there are various types of charges but the total charge is zero. At points outside the region

  1. the electric field is necessarily zero.
  2. the electric field is due to the dipole moment of the charge distribution only.
  3. the dominant electric field is `∞ 1/r^3`, for large r, where r is the distance from a origin in this region.
  4. the work done to move a charged particle along a closed path, away from the region, will be zero.

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.


The region between two concentric spheres of radii a < b contain volume charge density ρ(r) = `"c"/"r"`, where c is constant and r is radial- distanct from centre no figure needed. A point charge q is placed at the origin, r = 0. Value of c is in such a way for which the electric field in the region between the spheres is constant (i.e. independent of r). Find the value of c:
