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 (given) is `(q)/(4 in_(0))`. 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)/(4in_(0))` emerges through the remaining four faces of the cube.
