Five charges +q,+5 q,-2 q,+3 q and -4 q are situated as shown in the figure, The electric flux due to this configuration through the surface S is :
Options
- A5 q ₀
- B4 q ₀
- C3 q ₀
- Dq ₀
Correct answer
B. 4 q ₀
Step-by-step solution
Using Gauss's law, = q ₀ Here, q = charge inside the closed surface = q+(-2 q)+5 q ₀ = 4 q ₀
