    Question

    The electric field components in the figure shown is non-uniform and given by px along x-axis only. The flux through the cube of edge 0.1 m is about (p = 1000 N C⁻¹ m⁻¹)

    A.

    4.5 N m² C⁻¹

    B.

    3.2 N m² C⁻¹

    C.

    0

    D.

    1.3 N m² C⁻¹​

    Correct option is B

    Correct answer is B
    Concept:
    The electric flux through a surface is given by:
    Φ = ∫ E ⋅ dA
    In this case, the electric field is non-uniform and varies as Ex = p√x along the x-axis.
    Explanation:
    The cube has an edge length of 0.1 m. The area of one face is:
    A = (edge)2 = 0.1 × 0.1 = 0.01 m2
    The electric field at the left face  (x = 0.1):
    Ex2 = p√x = 1000√0.1 = 1000 × 0.316 = 316 N/C
    Flux through the left face:
    Φright = Ex2 × A = 316 × 0.01 = 3.16 N·m2/C
    Total flux through the cube:
    Φ = Φleft = 3.16 N·m2/C
