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

Net electric flux will remain unchanged as according to the Gauss law, electric flux through the body depends on the enclosed charge.
