NEETPhysicsElectrostatics
Given below are two statements Statement I : An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a hollow sphere. The flux of electric field through the sphere is zero, but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere. Statement II : If R is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and Q be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius r < R is zero but the electric flux p
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer
C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
∮ E → · d s → = q in ε 0 = 0 = ϕ Flux of E → through sphere is zero. But ∮ E → · d s → = 0 ⇒ E → · d s → ≠ 0 for small section d s only Statement- 2 As change encloses within gaussian surface is equal to zero. ϕ = ∮ E → · d s → = 0
