Question

An isosceles right angle triangle of side d is placed in a horizontal plane. A point charge q is placed at a distance d vertically above from one of the corner as shown in the figure. Flux of electric field passing through the triangle is:-

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Complete the triangle into a square of side d and picture a cube of side d with q at the corner above: the flux through one square face not touching q is $\frac{q}{24 ε _{0}}$ .

The triangle is half of that face, so $Φ = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{q}{24 ε _{0}} = \frac{q}{48 ε _{0}}$ - option (D).
