A cylinder of radius r and length l is placed in an uniform electric field parallel to the axis of the cylinder. The total flux for the surface of the cylinder is given by-

A

Zero

B

`pir^(2)`

C

`E pi r^(2)`

D

`2 E pir^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since, the electric flux into the cylinder is the same as that going out of it hence net flux =
