Consider a region in free space bounded by the surfaces of an imaginary cube having sides of length $a$ as shown in the figure. $A$ charge $+Q$ is placed at the centre $O$ of the cube. $P$ is a point outside the cube such that the line $OP$ perpendicularly intersects the surface $ABCD$ at $R$,and $OR = RP = a/2$. $A$ charge $+Q$ is also placed at point $P$. What is the total electric flux through the five faces of the cube other than $ABCD$?

  • A
    $\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
  • B
    $\frac{5Q}{6\varepsilon_{0}}$
  • C
    $\frac{10Q}{6\varepsilon_{0}}$
  • D
    zero
