Question
A charge Q is enclosed by a Gassian spherical surface of radius R. If the radius is doubled, then the outward electric flux will
Options
A.increase four times
B.be reduced to half
C.remain the same
D.be doubled
Solution
According to Gauss′s law
If the radius of Gaussian surface is doubled, the outwards electric flux will remain the same. This is because electric flux depends only on the charge enclosed by the surface.
If the radius of Gaussian surface is doubled, the outwards electric flux will remain the same. This is because electric flux depends only on the charge enclosed by the surface.
