NEET 2023 Phase 2 · PhysicsGauss fluxPrevious Year Question

A charge Q µC is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux coming out from any one of its faces will be (in SI unit):

Answer: (B) (Q × 10⁻⁶) / (6ε₀). Answer: (b) Solution: By Gauss's law, total flux through the closed cube = q_enclosed / ε₀.

  1. A.(Q × 10⁻³) / (6ε₀)
  2. B.(Q × 10⁻⁶) / (6ε₀)
  3. C.(Q × 10⁻⁶) / ε₀
  4. D.(3Q × 10⁻³) / (2ε₀)

Correct Answer

(B) (Q × 10⁻⁶) / (6ε₀)

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (b) Solution: By Gauss's law, total flux through the closed cube = q_enclosed / ε₀. The charge is Q µC = Q × 10⁻⁶ C, so total flux = (Q × 10⁻⁶) / ε₀. By symmetry (charge at the centre), this flux is shared equally among the 6 faces. Flux through one face = (1/6) × total = (Q × 10⁻⁶) / (6ε₀). Hence option (b).

PhysAccording to Gauss's law of electrostatics, the electric flux through a closed surface depends on:PhysIf ∮ₛ E · dS = 0 over a closed surface, then:PhysA sphere encloses an electric dipole with charges ±3 × 10⁻⁶ C. What is the total electric flux across the sphere?PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
