The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the electric field (E) inside two hollow spheres and the electric flux (φ) linked with them, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two hollow spheres (Sphere 1 and Sphere 2) with a uniform charge Q distributed on their surfaces. Sphere 1 contains a dipole inside it, while Sphere 2 is empty. ### Step 2: Analyze Electric Flux (φ) According to Gauss's Law, the electric flux (φ) through a closed surface is given by: \[ \phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0} \] - **For Sphere 1**: The dipole consists of a positive charge (+q) and a negative charge (-q). When calculating the enclosed charge for the Gaussian surface inside Sphere 1, the total enclosed charge is zero (since +q and -q cancel each other). However, the charge Q on the surface contributes to the electric flux. Thus, the total flux linked with Sphere 1 is: \[ \phi_1 = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} \quad (\text{due to the surface charge}) \] - **For Sphere 2**: There is no charge inside Sphere 2. The only charge present is the uniform charge Q distributed on its surface. Therefore, the enclosed charge for any Gaussian surface inside Sphere 2 is also zero, leading to: \[ \phi_2 = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} \quad (\text{due to the surface charge}) \] ### Step 3: Analyze Electric Field (E) Now, we will analyze the electric field inside both spheres: - **For Sphere 1**: Inside a hollow conductor with a dipole, the electric field is not zero. The dipole creates an electric field, and thus: \[ E_1 \neq 0 \quad (\text{inside Sphere 1}) \] - **For Sphere 2**: Since Sphere 2 is empty and has no charge inside it, the electric field inside Sphere 2 is zero: \[ E_2 = 0 \quad (\text{inside Sphere 2}) \] ### Step 4: Conclusion From the analysis, we have: - Electric flux for Sphere 1 (φ1) is non-zero. - Electric field inside Sphere 1 (E1) is non-zero. - Electric flux for Sphere 2 (φ2) is non-zero. - Electric field inside Sphere 2 (E2) is zero. Thus, the correct statements regarding electric field and electric flux are: - φ1 ≠ 0, E1 ≠ 0, φ2 ≠ 0, E2 = 0. ### Final Answer The correct option is: φ1 ≠ 0, E1 ≠ 0, φ2 ≠ 0, E2 = 0. ---
