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 reduced to half

B

remain the same

C

be doubled

D

increase four times

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Total flux `=("Net enclosed charge")/(epsilon_(0))`
Hence we can say the electric flux depends only onnet enclosed charge by surface.
