What is the electric flux ΦΦPhi through each of the six faces of the cube?

Use ϵ0ϵ0 for the permittivity of free space (not the EMF symbol E0E0).

Respuesta :

Flux through each of the six faces of the cube: [tex]\frac{q}{6\epsilon_0}[/tex]

Explanation:

In this problem, a charge [tex]q[/tex] is placed at the center of the cube.

We can apply Gauss Law, which states that the flux through the surface of the cube is equal to the charge contained within the cube divided by the vacuum permittivity; mathematically:

[tex]\Phi_T=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}[/tex]

where

[tex]q[/tex] is the charge

[tex]\epsilon_0[/tex] is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the flux through each of the six faces of the cube.

By simmetry, we can say that the 6 faces are identical: therefore, the flux through each of them must be the same. This means that the flux  through each faces is 1/6 of the total flux through the total surface, therefore:

[tex]\Phi = \frac{1}{6}\Phi = \frac{q}{6\epsilon_0}[/tex]
