  • A
    These originate from positive charge and end on negative charge.
  • B
    They do not intersect each other at a point.
  • C
    They have the same form for a point charge and a sphere.
  • D

$A$ charge $q$ is placed at the center of a cubical box of side $a$ with the top open. The flux of the electric field through one of the five closed surfaces of the cubical box is:

The electric field in a region is given by $\overrightarrow{E} = (\frac{3}{5} E_{0} \hat{i} + \frac{4}{5} E_{0} \hat{j}) \, N/C$. The ratio of the flux of this field through a rectangular surface of area $0.2 \, m^{2}$ (parallel to the $y-z$ plane) to that through a surface of area $0.3 \, m^{2}$ (parallel to the $x-z$ plane) is $a : b$,where $a = \dots$ [Here $\hat{i}, \hat{j}$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along the $x, y$ and $z$-axes respectively].

Consider a region in free space bounded by the surfaces of an imaginary cube having sides of length $a$ as shown in the figure. $A$ charge $+Q$ is placed at the centre $O$ of the cube. $P$ is a point outside the cube such that the line $OP$ perpendicularly intersects the surface $ABCD$ at $R$, and $OR = RP = a/2$. $A$ charge $+Q$ is also placed at point $P$. What is the total electric flux through the five faces of the cube other than $ABCD$?

Gauss's law should be invalid if

$A$ sphere encloses an electric dipole with charges $\pm 3 \times 10^{-6} \; C$. What is the total electric flux across the sphere in $\text{N m}^2 / \text{C}$?
