Consider the charge configuration and a ...

Consider the charge configuration and a spherical Gaussian surface as shown in the figure. When calculating the flux of the electric field over the spherical surface, the electric field will be due to.

A

`q_(2)`

B

only the positive charges

C

all the charges

D

`+q_(1) and -q_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
While calculating the flux, the total charges enclosed by the Gaussian surface are taken into account. But the electric field will be due to all charges inside as well as outside the surfaces.
