A charge Q is placed at the corner of a cube. The electric flux through all the six faces of the cube is

  1. Q / 3ε₀
  2. Q / 6ε₀
  3. Q / 8ε₀
  4. Q / ε₀

Correct answer: Q / 8ε₀

Solution

When a charge Q is placed at the corner of a cube, it is shared by 8 cubes. By Gauss's law, the total flux due to charge Q is Q/ε₀. Since the charge is shared equally, the flux through one cube is (Q/8ε₀).
