A point charge +10 μC is at a distance of 5 cm directly above the centre of a square of side 10 cm, as shown in figure. What is the magnitude of the electric flux though the square?

Solution:
Let us assume that the given square be one face of the cube of edge 10 cm. As charge of +10 μC is at a distance of 5 cm above the centre of a square, so it is enclosed by the cube. Hence by Gauss’s theorem, electric flux linked with the cube is
ϕ = = = 1.13 × N So, the magnitude of the electric flux through the square is = = × or = 1.9 × N
