Answer 2

Answer:

Electric Flux, $\phi=\dfrac{Q}{6\epsilon_o}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a charge q is placed at a distance a/2 above the centre of a horizontal square surface of edge a.

We need to find the flux through the square surface. Let an imaginary square is drawn surrounding the charged particle and applying the Gaus's law. According to Gauss's law, the electric flux is given by :

$\phi=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_o}$

In this case, the flux will pass through all the surfaces. Hence, the flux through square surface is $\dfrac{Q}{6\epsilon_o}$ for all surfaces.
