A point charge q is placed at the centre of the edge of a cubical box. Find the total flux associated with that box.

Answer»

Solution :If q is placed as shown, three more identical cubes are REQUIRED to enclose. That charge completely. Then the total flux through all faces of 4 cubes is`(q)/(in_0)`. Now CONTRIBUTION of this flux through each CUBE is `q/(4 in_0)` (given). Here it is interesting to note that the faces which have COMMON edge on which the given charge is kept have no flux and hence the flux `q/(4 in_0)` emerges through the REMAINING four faces of the cube.
