BITSAT Physics Question (2024) — Solution

Question

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

  1. A. 5 q _0
  2. B. 4 q _0
  3. C. 3 q _0
  4. D. q _0

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
