The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the electric flux through the surface opposite to the surface \( S \) of a cuboid with dimensions \( 2L \times 2L \times L \) where a charge \( q \) is placed at the center of surface \( S \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - The cuboid has dimensions \( 2L \times 2L \times L \). - The area of surface \( S \) is given as \( 4L^2 \). 2. **Applying Gauss's Law**: - According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux \( \Phi \) through a closed surface is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enc}}}{\epsilon_0} \] - Here, \( Q_{\text{enc}} \) is the charge enclosed by the surface, and \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. 3. **Total Flux through the Cuboid**: - The total flux through the entire surface of the cuboid can be calculated considering that the charge \( q \) is at the center of the cuboid. Since the cuboid has 6 faces, the total flux through the cuboid is: \[ \Phi_{\text{total}} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \] 4. **Calculating Flux through One Face**: - Since the charge is symmetrically placed, the flux is uniformly distributed across all 6 faces of the cuboid. Therefore, the flux through each face is: \[ \Phi_{\text{face}} = \frac{\Phi_{\text{total}}}{6} = \frac{q}{6\epsilon_0} \] 5. **Finding Flux through the Opposite Surface**: - The problem specifically asks for the flux through the surface opposite to \( S \). By symmetry, the flux through the opposite surface will also be: \[ \Phi_{\text{opposite}} = \frac{q}{6\epsilon_0} \] 6. **Final Answer**: - Thus, the flux through the opposite surface to \( S \) is: \[ \Phi_{\text{opposite}} = \frac{q}{6\epsilon_0} \]
