`S_1 and S_2` are two hollow concentric spheres enclosing charge Q and 2Q, respectively, as shown in figure. What is the ratio of the electric flux leaving through the surface of `S_1 and S_2`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Gauss' law,
`phi_1 = Q/epsilon_0, phi_2 = (Q+2Q)/epsilon_0`
`:. phi_1/phi_2 = (Q//epsilon_0)/(3Q//epsilon_0) = 1/3`.
