In the given figure, the ratio of electric fluxes through surfaces $S_1$ and $S_2$ is |
1 : 3 1 : 6 1 : 7 1 : 2 |
1 : 3 |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 1 : 3 Given charges: Inside surface $S_1$: $+2Q$ and $-Q$ → Net charge enclosed = $+Q$ Inside surface $S_2$: $+2Q$, $-Q$, $+3Q$, $-Q$ → Net charge enclosed = $+3Q$ By Gauss’s law, $\phi = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$ ∴ $\phi_1 : \phi_2 = Q_1 : Q_2 = 1 : 3$ Therefore, $\phi_1 : \phi_2 = 1 : 3$ |
