The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the electric flux emerging from a cube with a charge +q placed at its midpoint, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Setup**: - We have a cube with side length \( L \). - A charge \( +q \) is located exactly at the center of the cube. 2. **Recall Gauss's Law**: - Gauss's Law states that the electric flux \( \Phi \) through a closed surface is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \] where \( Q_{\text{enc}} \) is the total charge enclosed within the surface and \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. 3. **Identify the Enclosed Charge**: - In this case, since the charge \( +q \) is located at the center of the cube, the entire charge is enclosed by the cube. - Therefore, \( Q_{\text{enc}} = +q \). 4. **Calculate the Electric Flux**: - Using Gauss's Law, we can substitute the enclosed charge into the formula: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The electric flux emerging from the cube is: \[ \Phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] ### Final Answer: The electric flux emerging from the cube is \( \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \).
