Four closed surfaces and corresponding charge distributions are shown below. Let the respective electric fluxes through the surfaces be ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 , ϕ 3 and ϕ 4 . Then:
Options
- Aϕ 1 > ϕ 2 > ϕ 3 > ϕ 4
- Bϕ 1 < ϕ 2 = ϕ 3 > ϕ 4
- Cϕ 1 > ϕ 3 ; ϕ 2 < ϕ 4
- Dϕ 1 = ϕ 2 = ϕ 3 = ϕ 4
Correct answer
D. ϕ 1 = ϕ 2 = ϕ 3 = ϕ 4
Step-by-step solution
By Gauss law,   ϕ =   ∑ q enclosed ϵ o ∑ q enclosed is same in all cases. ⇒ ϕ will be same in all four cases
