Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, q= 1C
Flux through this charge i.e.
`phi= (q)/(epsi_(0)) = (1)/(8.85 xx 10^(-12))= 1.12 xx 10^(11)N-m^(2)C^(-1)`

Predict and explain Gaussian surface A has twice the area of Gaussian surface B. Both surfaces enclose the same charge Q. Choose the best explanation from the following. (a) Gaussian surface B is closer to the charge, since it has the smaller area. It follows that it has the greater electric flux. (b) The two surfaces enclose the same charge and hence they have the same electric flux. (c ) Electric flux is proportional to the area Therefore , Gaussian surface A has the greater electric flux.
