Official Solution
Correct Option:
(1)
We are given a point charge placed at the corner of a cube. The problem asks for the electric flux through the face ABCD of the cube. To solve this, we will use Gauss's law, which states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed by that surface: However, the point charge is placed at the corner of the cube, which is shared by 8 adjacent cubes. Therefore, the charge is equally divided among these 8 cubes. Now, we consider the fact that a cube has 6 faces, and the flux is distributed evenly across all faces if the charge is symmetrically placed within the cube. Since the point charge is placed at a corner, it does not contribute any net flux through any single face. Thus, the flux through each face of the cube is: Hence, the electric flux through the face ABCD is:
Thus, the correct answer is (A) 0.
