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

increase four times

B

be reduced to half

C

remain the same

D

be doubled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From Gauss.s law we know that electric flux linked with a closed surface is equal to `q_"enclosed"/mu_0`.
By changing the radius of Gaussian surface there is no change in an enclosed charge.
