The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the electric flux through a sphere of radius \(4a\) centered at the origin, given two charges: \(q_1 = 5C\) located at \((3a, 0)\) and \(q_2 = -2C\) located at \((-5a, 0)\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges and Their Positions**: - Charge \(q_1 = 5C\) is located at \((3a, 0)\). - Charge \(q_2 = -2C\) is located at \((-5a, 0)\). 2. **Determine the Sphere's Radius and Center**: - The sphere has a radius of \(4a\) and is centered at the origin \((0, 0)\). 3. **Check Which Charges Are Inside the Sphere**: - The distance of \(q_1\) from the origin is \(3a\). Since \(3a < 4a\), charge \(q_1\) is inside the sphere. - The distance of \(q_2\) from the origin is \(5a\). Since \(5a > 4a\), charge \(q_2\) is outside the sphere. 4. **Apply Gauss's Law**: - According to Gauss's law, the electric flux \(\Phi\) through a closed surface is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0} \] - Here, \(q_{\text{enclosed}}\) is the total charge inside the sphere. Since only \(q_1\) is inside: \[ q_{\text{enclosed}} = q_1 = 5C \] 5. **Calculate the Electric Flux**: - Substitute \(q_{\text{enclosed}}\) into Gauss's law: \[ \Phi = \frac{5C}{\epsilon_0} \] ### Final Answer: The electric flux through the sphere of radius \(4a\) is: \[ \Phi = \frac{5}{\epsilon_0} \, \text{C/m}^2 \]

Asserions: Two points charges +Q and -Q are fixed at point A(+a,0,0) and point B(-a,0,0) respectively.Then the magnitude of electric flux due to electric field of either point charge through infinite y-zplane (that is x=0 plane) is less than magnitude of net electric flux due to electric field of both charges through that plane ( x=0 plane) Reason :the magnitude of the net electric flux through a surface due to a system of point charges is equal to sum of magnitude of electric flux through that surface due to each of the point charge of the system.
