As shown in figure a closed surface intersects a spherical conductor. If a negative charge is placed at point P. What is the nature of the electric flux coming out of the closed surface?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Point charge Q induces charge on conductoras shown in figure.
Net charge enclosed by closed surface is negative so flux is negative.
