A large charge distribution Q exists at the center of a cube. It is surrounded by six smaller charges, q , each facing a direction perpendicular to a face of the cube.What is the electric flux through one of the sides of the cube?

Question

A large charge distribution Q  exists at the center of a cube. It is surrounded by six smaller charges, q , each facing a direction perpendicular to a face of the cube.What is the electric flux through one of the sides of the cube?

Anonymous · Answer

(Q + 6*q)/(epsilon_o)

Annie · Answer

The flux through one side of the cube is equal to one-sixth of the total flux through the cube = (Q+6*q)/(6*epsilon_o)
