The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the electric flux coming out from any surface of a cube with a charge \( Q \) (in microcoulombs) placed at its center, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Electric Flux**: Electric flux (\( \Phi \)) through a surface is defined by Gauss's Law, which states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity of free space (\( \epsilon_0 \)): \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \] 2. **Identify the Charge and the Cube**: Given that a charge \( Q = Q_{\mu c} = Q \times 10^{-6} \) Coulombs is placed at the center of the cube, we can denote this charge as \( Q \). 3. **Calculate the Total Flux through the Cube**: Since the charge is at the center of the cube, the total electric flux through the entire surface of the cube can be calculated as: \[ \Phi_{\text{total}} = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} \] 4. **Determine the Number of Surfaces**: A cube has 6 surfaces. Since the charge is symmetrically placed at the center, the flux will be uniformly distributed across all surfaces. 5. **Calculate the Flux through Each Surface**: To find the flux through one surface of the cube, we divide the total flux by the number of surfaces: \[ \Phi_{\text{each surface}} = \frac{\Phi_{\text{total}}}{6} = \frac{Q}{6 \epsilon_0} \] 6. **Final Expression**: Substituting \( Q = Q \times 10^{-6} \) into the equation gives: \[ \Phi_{\text{each surface}} = \frac{Q \times 10^{-6}}{6 \epsilon_0} \] ### Conclusion: The flux coming out from any surface of the cube is given by: \[ \Phi_{\text{each surface}} = \frac{Q \times 10^{-6}}{6 \epsilon_0} \]
