A point charge (q) is kept above the centre of 8 cm x 8 cm square metal plate at a height of 4 cm. What will be the flux associated with this surface?

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the electric flux associated with the surface of an 8 cm x 8 cm square metal plate with a point charge \( q \) placed above its center at a height of 4 cm, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Electric Flux
Electric flux (\( \Phi \)) through a surface is given by the equation:
\[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \]
where \( Q_{\text{enc}} \) is the charge enclosed by the surface and \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space.
