A point charge causes an electric flux of `-1 xx 10^(3) Nm^(2) C^(-1)` to pass through a spherical Gaussian surface 10 cm radius centred on the charge.
What is the value of the point charge?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here,`Phi = q/in_(0) implies q = phi in_(0) = (–1 xx 10^(3)) xx 8.85 xx 10^(-12) = -8.85 xx 10^(-9)`C.
