Question

A charge \( Q \) is placed at the center of a cube of sides \( a \). The total flux of electric field through the six surfaces of the cube is:

• A. \(\frac{6Qa^2}{\epsilon_0}\)
• B. \(\frac{Q^2a^2}{\epsilon_0}\)
• C. \(\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}\)
• D. \(\frac{Qa^2}{\epsilon_0}\)

Hint:

Gauss’s law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within the surface. For a cube, the flux is evenly distributed across all faces.
