Question

A particle charge of 2.7 µC is at the center of a Gaussian cube 55 cm on edge. What is the net electric flux through the surface?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.05×10⁵ Nm²C⁻¹

Explanation:

According to Gauss' law,

∅' = q/e₀............... Equation 1

Where ∅' = net flux through the surface, q = net charge, e₀ = electric permittivity of the space

From the question,

Given: q = 2.7 μC = 2.7×10⁻⁶ C,

Constant: e₀ = 8.85×10⁻¹² C²/N.m²

Substituting these values into equation 1

∅' = (2.7×10⁻⁶)/(8.85×10⁻¹²)

∅' = 3.05×10⁵ Nm²C⁻¹
