Question:

Two points charges q1 = +1 µC and q2 = – 2 µC are placed at A and B respectively as shown in the figure. The distance between q1 and q2 is 4 cm.

The net electric flux will be zero.

Options:

over any surface that encloses a volume including A and B, but having very large radius

over any surface that includes A twice and B once

over any surface that encloses a volume excluding A and B

only over a surface that encloses zero volume

Correct Answer:

over any surface that encloses a volume excluding A and B

Explanation:

$\phi=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$
