A point charge `+Q` is positioned at the centre of the base of a square pyramid as shown. The flux through one of the four identical upper faces of the pyramid is

A

`(Q)/(16 epsilon_(0))`

B

`(Q)/(4 epsilon_(0))`

C

`(Q)/(8 epsilon_(0))`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Flux going in pyramid `=(Q)/(8epsilon_(0))` Which is divided equally among all `4` faces.
`:.` Flux through one face `=(Q)/(8epsilon_(0))`
