A point charge of 2.0 μC is at the centre of a cubic Gaussian surface 9.0 cm on edge. What is the net electric flux through the surface?

Given:


Total charge inside the cube, q = 2.0 μC


Edge length of Cube, a = 9.0 cm



We know that,


Flux, Φ = q/ε0


Where, q = net charged enclosed


ε0 = permittivity of free space


ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12N-1 m-2C2



Φ = 2.26 × 105 Nm2C-1


The net electric flux through the cubic Gaussian surface is Φ = 2.26 × 105 Nm2C-1


NOTE: The flux through a Gaussian surface depends on the net charge enclosed by it. Geometry has no effect on the total flux.
