Figure shows four charges `q_1,q_2,q_3,and q_4` fixed is space. Then the total flux of the electric field through a closed surface S, due to all the charges, is

A

not equal to the total flux through S due to `q_3 and q_4`

B

equal to the total flux through S due to `q_3 and q_4`

C

zero if `q_1 + q_2 = q_3 +q_4`

D

twice the total flux through S due to `q_3 and q_4 if q_1+q_2 = q_3+q_4`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
b. Net flux is due to charges inside S only.

Gauss's law and Coulomb's law , although expressed in different forms , are equivalent ways of describing the relation between charge and electric field in static conditions . Gauss's law is epsilon_(0) phi = q_(encl) ,when q(encl) is the net charge inside an imaginary closed surface called Gaussian surface. The two equations hold only when the net charge is in vaccum or air . The net flux of the electric field through the surface due to q_(3) and q_(4) is
