The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the net electric flux through the faces of a die and then use Gauss's Law to find the net charge inside the die. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electric Flux**: The electric flux (Φ) through each face of the die is given in units of \(10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) and is equal to the number of spots (N) on that face. For a die, the faces are numbered from 1 to 6. 2. **Identifying the Flux Direction**: - For odd N (1, 3, 5), the flux is inward (negative). - For even N (2, 4, 6), the flux is outward (positive). 3. **Calculating the Flux for Each Face**: - Face 1: \(Φ_1 = -1 \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) - Face 2: \(Φ_2 = +2 \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) - Face 3: \(Φ_3 = -3 \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) - Face 4: \(Φ_4 = +4 \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) - Face 5: \(Φ_5 = -5 \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) - Face 6: \(Φ_6 = +6 \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}\) 4. **Summing the Electric Flux**: \[ \Phi_{\text{total}} = Φ_1 + Φ_2 + Φ_3 + Φ_4 + Φ_5 + Φ_6 \] \[ = (-1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6) \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C} \] \[ = (3) \times 10^3 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C} \] 5. **Using Gauss's Law**: According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed (Q) divided by the permittivity of free space (\(ε_0\)): \[ Φ_{\text{total}} = \frac{Q}{ε_0} \] Rearranging gives us: \[ Q = Φ_{\text{total}} \cdot ε_0 \] 6. **Calculating the Charge**: The value of \(ε_0\) (permittivity of free space) is approximately \(8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2\). \[ Q = (3 \times 10^3) \times (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \] \[ = 2.655 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \] ### Final Answer: The net charge inside the die is approximately \(2.66 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C}\).

Consider a point charge q=1 m C placed at a corner of a cube of sides 10 cm . Determine the electric flux through each face of the cube. Strategy : We will learn about the utility of symmetry in solving problems with the help of Gauss's law . Here we'll use the symmetry of the situation,which involves the faces joining at the corner at which the charge resides. (a) A charge q is placed atthe corner of a cube. (b) By surrounding the charge with a series of cubes such that the charge is at the centre of a larger cube, we have created an arrangement sufficiently symmetric to be able to solve for desired flux values. You can see from figure that for these faces vec(E).hat(n)=0 . Since the normal is perpendicular to the surfaces while the electric field goes off in a spherically symmetric pattern and lies in the sides . In other words , the electric field that originates at the charge is tangential to the surface of these three sides. This means there is no flux through these sides. The electric flux through each of the remaining three faces of the be must be equal by symmetry . We'll referto these faces with the label F. To fidn the flux through each of the sides F, we acan use a technique that puts the single charge in the middle of a larger cube. It takes seven other similarly placed cubes to surrounds the points charge q completely in figre. The charge is at the dead centre of the enw larger cube. So, the flux through each of the six sides of the large cube will now have an electric flux of one sixth of the total flux F. So given that the total structure is completely symmetric, the flux through a side F is one fourth of the flux through the larger side.
