C1 and C2 are two hollow concentric cubes enclosing charges 2Q and 3Q respectively as shown in figure. The ratio of electric flux passing through C1 and C2 is : [figure]
- 3:2
- 5:2
- 2:5
- 2:3
Answer
(3) 2:5
Solution
Gauss's law: = qenclosed 0 (independent of the shape and size of the closed surface)
Inner cube C1 encloses only 2Q ⇒ 1= 2Q 0
outer cube C2 encloses both charges ⇒ 2= 2Q+3Q 0= 5Q 0
1: 2=2:5
