How does the electric flux due to a ...

How does the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by a spherical Gaussian surface get a affected when its radius is increased ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As per Gauss’s theorem,
Electric `phi=q/epsilon_0` where q is the charge enclosed by a closed surface through which flux is `phi` Electric flux does not depend on the radius, hence it remains unaffected.
