A charge of 0.80 nC is placed at the center of a cube that measures 4.0 m along each edge. What is the electric flux through one face of the cube

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnetic  flux is  [tex]\phi = 15 \ Nm^2 /C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The value of the charge is  [tex]q = 0.80 \ nC = 0.80 *10^{-9} \ C[/tex]

     The length of each side of  the cube is [tex]d = 4.0 \ m[/tex]

Generally the magnetic flux through a closed surface is  mathematically represented as

          [tex]\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_o} * D[/tex]

Where  D is the area enclosing the charge

  Now  a  cube is made up of six faces but in this question we are considering only one face which is mathematically represented as

      [tex]D = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

So  the electric flux through one face of the cube  is  mathematically represented as

         [tex]\phi = \frac{q}{6 * \epsilon _o }[/tex]

where  [tex]\epsilon _o[/tex] is the permitivity of free space with value  

           [tex]\epsilon_o = 8.85 *10^{-12} F/m[/tex]

substituting value  

      [tex]\phi = \frac{0.80 *10^{-9}}{6 * 8.85 *10^{-12} }[/tex]

     [tex]\phi = 15 \ Nm^2 /C[/tex]
