$A$ square Gaussian surface is placed in the $y-z$ plane. Its axis is along the $x-$axis and its center is at the origin. Two identical charges,each $Q$,are placed at points $(a, 0, 0)$ and $(-a, 0, 0)$. If each side length of the square is $2a$,then the electric flux passing through the square is:

  • A
    $\frac{Q}{6\epsilon_0}$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{3\epsilon_0}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q}{12\epsilon_0}$
  • D
    zero

$A$ thin spherical shell of radius $R$ and surface charge density $\sigma$ is placed in a cube of side $5R$ with their centers coinciding. The electric flux through one face of the cube is $(\varepsilon_0 = \text{Permittivity of free space})$

An infinitely long uniform line charge distribution of charge per unit length $\lambda$ lies parallel to the $y$-axis in the $y-z$ plane at $z=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a$ (see figure). If the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the rectangular surface $A B C D$ lying in the $x-y$ plane with its center at the origin is $\frac{\lambda L }{ n \varepsilon_0}$ (where $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space),then the value of $n$ is

Consider four closed surfaces $S_1, S_2, S_3,$ and $S_4$ each enclosing the same charge $q_1$. Compare the electric flux through these surfaces.
