By Gauss’s theorem, total electric flux over the closed surface is $$\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$ times the total charges contained inside surface.
∴ Total electric flux $$ = \frac{{{\text{total charge inside cube}}}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
or $$\phi = \frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$

The electric field intensity at the centre of a uniformly charged hemispherical shell is $${E_0}.$$ Now two portions of the hemisphere are cut from either side, and the remaining portion is shown in Fig. If $$\alpha = \beta = \frac{\pi }{3},$$ then the electric field intensity at the centre due to the remaining portion is
The magnitude of electric field intensity due to each part of the hemispherical surface at the centre $$'O'$$ is same.
Suppose it is $$E.$$
$$\eqalign{
& E + \frac{E}{2} + \frac{E}{2} = {E_0} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,2E = {E_0}\,{\text{or}}\,E = \frac{{{E_0}}}{2} \cr} $$

Two point charges $$ + q$$ and $$ - q$$ are held fixed at $$\left( { - d,o} \right)$$ and $$\left( {d,o} \right)$$ respectively of a $$x-y$$ coordinate system. Then
A
The electric field $$E$$ at all points on the $$x$$-axis has the same direction
B
Electric field at all points on $$y$$-axis is along $$x$$-axis
C
Work has to be done in bringing a test charge from $$\infty $$ to the origin
D
The dipole moment is $$2qd$$ along the $$x$$-axis
Answer :
Electric field at all points on $$y$$-axis is along $$x$$-axis
The two charges form an electric dipole. If we take a point $$M$$ on the $$X$$-axis as shown in the figure, then the net electric field is in $$X$$-direction.
$$\therefore $$ Option (A) is incorrect. If we take a point $$N$$ on $$Y$$-axis, we find net electric field along $$+X$$ direction.The same will be true for any point on $$Y$$-axis. (B) is a correct option. NOTE : For any point on the equatorial line of a dipole, the electric field is opposite to the direction of dipole moment.
(B) $${W_{\infty - 0}} = q\left( {{V_\infty } - {V_0}} \right) = q\left( {0 - 0} \right) = 0$$
$$\therefore $$ (C) is incorrect. The direction of dipole moment is from -ve to + ve. Therefore (D) is incorrect.

A charge $$q\,\mu C$$ is placed at the centre of a cube of a side $$0.1\,m,$$ then the electric flux diverging from each face of the cube is
A
$$\frac{{q \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{24{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{q \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
C
$$\frac{{q \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{6{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{q \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}{{12{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
The electric flux emerging from the cube is
$$\eqalign{
& \phi = \frac{1}{{{\varepsilon _0}}} \times {\text{charge enclosed}}\,\,\left( {{q_{{\text{inside}}}}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{1}{{{\varepsilon _0}}} \times {q_{{\text{inside}}}} \times {10^{ - 6}} \cr
& = \frac{1}{{{\varepsilon _0}}} \times {q_{{\text{inside}}}} \times {10^{ - 6}}\,\,\,\left[ {{q_{{\text{inside}}}} = q \times {{10}^{ - 6}}} \right] \cr} $$
Since, a cube has six faces, so electric flux through each face is,
$$\phi ' = \frac{\phi }{6} = \frac{1}{{6{\varepsilon _0}}} \times q \times {10^{ - 6}} = \frac{{q \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{6{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
86.
If electric field in a region is radially outward with magnitude $$E = Ar,$$ the charge contained in a sphere of radius $$r$$ centred at the origin is
A
$$\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}A{r^3}$$
B
$$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}A{r^3}$$
C
$$\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{A}{{{r^3}}}$$
$${\text{Here,}}\,\,q = 1\,C,{\varepsilon _0} = 8.85 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{C^2}{N^{ - 1}}{m^{ - 2}}$$
Number of lines of force = Electric force
$$ = \frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}} = \frac{1}{{8.85 \times {{10}^{ - 12}}}} = 1.13 \times {10^{11}}$$

In the figure the electric lines on the right have twice the separation of those on the left. If a charge particle takes time $$t$$ to move a distance $$x$$ in left region, then it will take time to travel the same distance in the right side region is :

Three point charges $$+ q, - 2q$$ and $$+q$$ are placed at points $$\left( {x = 0,y = a,z = 0} \right),\left( {x = 0,y = 0,z = 0} \right)$$ and $$\left( {x = a,y = 0,z = 0} \right),$$ respectively. The magnitude and direction of the electric dipole moment vector of this charge assembly are

C
$$qa$$ along the line joining points $$\left( {x = 0,y = 0,z = 0} \right)$$ and $$\left( {x = a,y = a,z = 0} \right)$$
D
$$\sqrt 2 aq$$ along $$+ x$$ direction
Answer :
$$\sqrt 2 aq$$ along the line joining points $$\left( {x = 0,y = 0,z = 0} \right)$$ and $$\left( {x = a,y = a,z = 0} \right)$$
Choose the three coordinate axes as $$X,Y$$ and $$Z$$ and plot the charges with the given coordinates as shown. $$O$$ is the origin at which $$- 2q$$ charge is placed. The system is equivalent to two dipoles along $$x$$ and $$y$$-directions respectively. The dipole moments of two dipoles are shown in figure.
The resultant dipole moment will be directed along $$OP$$ where coordinate of $${P_{{\text{net}}}}$$ is given by $$\left( {a,a,0} \right).$$ The magnitude of resultant dipole moment is $${P_{{\text{net}}}} = \sqrt {{p^2} + {p^2}} $$
$$\eqalign{
& = \sqrt {{{\left( {qa} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {qa} \right)}^2}} \cr
& = \sqrt 2 qa \cr} $$
