Solution
Verified by Toppr
Correct option is A)
As we know that, total flux due to a charge enclosed in a region is given as
ϕ
=
ε
0
Q
(Gauss's law)
Here, the charge is on a corner of each of the 8 cubes.
Hence, an equal amount of flux will spread outwards through each of the cubes due to symmetry.
Hence, the magnetic flux through each cube is given as
ϕ
=
8
ε
0
Q
.
Since three faces don't have any effect, the flux will be divided into three parts again.
Therefore, total flux will become,
ϕ
=

ε
0
Q
The correct option A.
