Q16.As shown in figure, a cuboid lies in a region with electric field E = 2x2ˆi −4yˆj + 6ˆk N C−1 . The magnitude of charge within the cuboid is nε0 C. The value of n is ______ (if dimension of cuboid is 1 × 2 × 3 m3 )

What This Question Tests

This question combines Gauss's law with the concept of divergence of an electric field. It requires calculating the divergence of the given electric field to find the charge density and then the total charge within the cuboid.

Concepts Tested

Gauss's LawElectric fluxVolume charge densityDivergence of electric field

Formulas Used

Φ = ∫ E ⋅ dA = Q_enclosed / ε0

Divergence theorem: ∫ (∇ ⋅ E) dV = ∫ E ⋅ dA

∇ ⋅ E = ∂Ex/∂x + ∂Ey/∂y + ∂Ez/∂z
