Assertion (A): Three point charges Q(1),...

Assertion (A): Three point charges `Q_(1), Q_(2)` and `Q_(3)` are shown in the figure. The flux over the Gaussian surface depends on only one charge point.

Reason (R): Electric flux depends on the all charges nearby.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and Rare true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

A is false and R is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
According to Gauss’s law, electric flux depends on the enclosed charges only. Here the enclosed charges are `Q_(1)` and `Q_(3)` only. Hence the assertion is false and the reason is true.
