Assertion (A) A charge q is placed on a height h/4 above the centre of a square of side b . The fluk associated with the square is independent of side length.
Reason (R ) Gauss 's law is independent of size of the Gaussian surface.

A

both, Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

both, Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Asserrtion.

C

Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Here, both Assertion and Reasion are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion because electric flux linked with a gaussian surface is
`phi_(E) = oint_(S) = vec(E) . d Vec(s) = (1)/(in_(0))`
`xx` charge enclosed by the surface

If a charge `q` is placed at the centre `O` at the cube then electric flux through all the six faces of the cube is `= (q)/(in_(0))`
Electric flux through one face `= (1)/(6) (q)/(in_(0))`
which is independat of side length `b`.
