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.

- 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 \(\theta = 30\) , then the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder is \(Φ\). If \(\theta= 60\degree\) , then the electric flux through the curved surface becomes \(Φ/√𝑛\), where the value of n is______.
