A charge `Q` is enclosed by a Gaussian spherical surface of radius `R`. If the radius is doubled, then the outward electric flux will

A

be doubled

B

increase four times

C

be reduced to halff

D

remain the same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`phi=(q)/(epsi_(0))`
AT the charge enclosed remains the same, the total flux remains the same. It does not depend upon the shape and size of the surface.
