Question

A long string with a charge of a per unit length passes through an imaginary cube of edge L.
The maximum possible flux of electric field through the cube will be

• A. $\frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$
• B. $\frac{\sqrt{2}\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$
• C. $\frac{\sqrt{3}\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$
• D. $\frac{\sqrt{5}\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

Hint:

Remember that the inverse square law applies to various physical phenomena, including gravity and light intensity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Using Gauss's law, the flux of electric field through the cube can be calculated by considering the geometry of the charge distribution and the electric field lines passing through the surface of the cube. The correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{3}\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$.
