The correct Answer is:
To find the electric flux emerging from a cube when a charge \( +q \) is placed at its midpoint, we can use Gauss's Law, which states that the electric flux \( \Phi \) through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed by that surface. The mathematical expression for Gauss's Law is: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \] where: - \( \Phi \) is the electric flux, - \( Q_{\text{enc}} \) is the total charge enclosed within the surface, - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charge and its Position**: - We have a charge \( +q \) placed at the midpoint of a cube. 2. **Determine the Enclosed Charge**: - Since the charge \( +q \) is located at the center of the cube, the entire charge is enclosed within the cube. 3. **Apply Gauss's Law**: - According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux \( \Phi \) through the surface of the cube can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \] - Here, \( Q_{\text{enc}} = +q \). 4. **Calculate the Total Electric Flux**: - Substituting the enclosed charge into the equation gives: \[ \Phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the total electric flux emerging from the cube is: \[ \Phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] ### Final Answer: The electric flux emerging from the cube is \( \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \).
