What is the net flux of the uniform electric field of Exercise 1.15 through a cube of side 20 cm oriented so that its faces are parallel to the coordinate planes?
Solution and Explanation
All the faces of a cube are parallel to the coordinate axes. Therefore, the number of field lines entering the cube is equal to the number of field lines piercing out of the cube. As a result, net flux through the cube is zero.
Top Questions on Electric Flux
- An electric field \( \vec{E} \) is given by:
\[ \vec{E} = \begin{cases} +100\, \hat{i} \dfrac{\text{N}}{\text{C}} & \text{for } x>0 \\ -100\, \hat{i} \dfrac{\text{N}}{\text{C}} & \text{for } x<0 \end{cases} \] A right circular cylinder of length \( 10\, \text{cm} \) and radius \( 2\, \text{cm} \), is placed such that its axis coincides with the x-axis and its two faces are at \( x = -5\, \text{cm} \) and \( x = 5\, \text{cm} \). Calculate: (a) the net outward flux through the cylinder, and (b) the net charge inside the cylinder.- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025

- A charge is kept at the central point \( P \) of a cylindrical region. The two edges subtend a half-angle \(\theta\) at \( P \), as shown in the figure. When \(\theta = 30^\circ\), then the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder is \(\Phi\). If \(\theta = 60^\circ\), then the electric flux through the curved surface becomes \(\frac{\Phi}{\sqrt{n}}\), where the value of \(n\) is \_\_\_\_. \includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth]{ph8.png}
