The electric flux through the surface

A

in figure (iv) is the largest

B

in figure (iii) is the least

C

in the figure (ii) is same as in figure (iii) but is smaller than figure (iv)

D

is the same for all the figures

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As per Gauss's theorem in electrostatics, the electric flux throgh a surface depends only on the amount of charge enclosed by the surface. It does not depend on size and shape of the surface. Therefore, electric flux through the surface is the same for all figures.
