Question:

If the electric flux entering and leaving an enclosed surface respectively are ϕ1​ and ϕ2​ then what is the electric charge inside the surface ?

Options:

(ϕ2 + ϕ1​)ϵ0

(ϕ2​−ϕ1​)/ϵ0

(ϕ2+ ϕ1​)/ϵ0

(ϕ2​−ϕ1​)ϵ0

Correct Answer:

(ϕ2​−ϕ1​)ϵ0

Explanation:

Flux entering is due to negative charge and flux leaving is due to negative charge.

Net electric flux is (ϕ2​−ϕ1​).

Charge enclosed is q = (ϕ2​−ϕ1​)ϵ0
