Two charges of 5Q and -2Q are situated at the points (3a,0) and (-5a,0) respectively. The electric flux through a sphere of radius '4a' having center at origin is :
- 2Q 0
- 7Q 0
- 3Q 0
- 5Q 0
Answer
(4) 5Q 0
Solution
[figure]
= qenc 0 (Gauss's law)
5Q at distance 3a<4a: inside
-2Q at distance 5a>4a: outside
only enclosed charge gives net flux through a closed surface.
= 5Q 0
Answer: (4)
