The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Gauss's Law, which states that the electric flux (Φ) through a closed surface is directly proportional to the charge (q) enclosed within that surface. The relationship is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0} \] where: - \( \Phi \) is the electric flux, - \( q_{\text{enclosed}} \) is the total charge enclosed within the surface, - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the initial charge and its flux**: - Initially, there is a charge of \( q_1 = 20 \, \mu C \) inside the closed surface. - According to Gauss's Law, the initial flux \( \Phi \) is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{q_1}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{20 \, \mu C}{\epsilon_0} \] 2. **Add the new charge**: - An additional charge of \( q_2 = 80 \, \mu C \) is added inside the same closed surface. - The total charge now enclosed by the surface is: \[ q_{\text{total}} = q_1 + q_2 = 20 \, \mu C + 80 \, \mu C = 100 \, \mu C \] 3. **Calculate the new flux**: - The new flux \( \Phi' \) after adding the charge is: \[ \Phi' = \frac{q_{\text{total}}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{100 \, \mu C}{\epsilon_0} \] 4. **Relate the new flux to the initial flux**: - We can express the new flux in terms of the initial flux: \[ \Phi' = \frac{100 \, \mu C}{\epsilon_0} = 5 \cdot \frac{20 \, \mu C}{\epsilon_0} = 5 \Phi \] - Thus, the new flux is \( 5 \Phi \). 5. **Determine the change in flux**: - The change in flux \( \Delta \Phi \) is given by: \[ \Delta \Phi = \Phi' - \Phi = 5 \Phi - \Phi = 4 \Phi \] ### Final Answer: The change in flux when \( 80 \, \mu C \) charge is added inside the surface is \( 4 \Phi \).
