five charge q(1),q(2),q(3),q(4)and q(5) ...

five charge `q_(1),q_(2),q_(3),q_(4)`and `q_(5)` are fixed at their positions as shown in figure .`s` is Gaussian surface .The Gauss's law is given by `ointvec(E).vec(ds)=(q)/(epsilon_(0))`

Which of the following statement is correct?

A

`E` on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from `q_(1), q_(5)` and `q_(3)` while `q` on the RHS will have a contribution from `q_(2)` and `q_(4)` only

B

`E` on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while `q` on the RHS will have a contribution from `q_(2)` and `q_(4)` only

C

`E` on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while `q` on the RHS will have a contribution from `q_(1), `q_(3)` and `q_(5)` only

D

Both, `E` on the LHS and `q` on the RHS will have contribution from q_(2)` and `q_(4)` only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

According to Gauss's theorem in electrostatics, `oint vec(E). Vec(ds) = (q)/(in_(0))`, Here `vec(E)` is due to all the charges `q_(1), q_(2), q_(3), q_(4)` and `q_(5)`. As `q` is closed by the Gassian surface, therefore, `q = q_(2) + q_(4)`. Choice (b) is correct.

Assertion: Four point charges q_(1),q_(2),q_(3) and q_(4) are as shown in Fig,The flux over the shown Gaussians surface depends only on charges q_(1) and q_(2) Reason:Electric field at all points on Gaussians surface depends on any charges q_(1) and q_(2)

Assertion:- In a given situation of arrangement of charges, an extra charge is placed outside the Gaussion surface. In the Gauss Theroem ointvecEdvecs=(Q_(in))/(epsilon_(0))Q_(in) remains unchanged whereas electric field vecE at the site of the element is changed. Reason:- Electric field vecE at any point on the Gaussian surface is due to inside charge only.
