The total flux through the faces of the cube with side of length a if a charge q is placed at corner A of the cube is

A

`q/(8epsilon_(0))`

B

`q/(4epsilon_(0))`

C

`q/(2epsilon_(0))`

D

`q/(epsilon_(0))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In the figure, when a charge q is placed at corner A of the cube, it is being shared equally by 8 cubes.
`therefore" "` The total flux through the faces of the given cube = `q/(8epsilon_(0))`
