Figure shown a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charge is placed at the point P, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface

A

will remain zero

B

will become positive

C

will become negative

D

data insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The induced charges on conducting sphere due to `+q` charge at `P` are as shown infigure.
Now net charge inside the closed dotted surface is negative. Hence, according to Gauss's theorem net flux is zero.

An imaginary closed surface P is constructed around a neutral conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch as shown in figure. As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface P is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface :

A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch (figure 30-Q6). As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface S is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface
