According to Gauss law of electrostatics, electric flux through a closed surface depends on

Options

  1. AThe shape of the surface
  2. BThe volume enclosed by the surface
  3. CThe area of the surface
  4. DThe quantity of charges enclosed by the surface

Correct answer

D. The quantity of charges enclosed by the surface

Step-by-step solution

According to Gauss' law ϕ=∮E⃗⋅ds⃗=qenclosed ε0∴\phi=\oint \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s}=\frac{q_{\text{enclosed }}}{\varepsilon_0} \therefore \quad Flux depends on quantity of charges enclosed by surface.
