Consider two hollow concentric spheres `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` enclosing charges 2Q and 4Q respectively, as shown in the figure.
Find out the ratio of the electric flux through them.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Gauss. theorem,
`phi(Sigmaq)/(epsilon_(0)epsilon_(r))propSigmaq`
`:.(phi_(S_(1)))/(phi_(S_(2)))=(2Q)/(2Q+4Q)=(2Q)/(6Q)=1/3`
