Electric Flux & Gauss's Law

A charge is uniformly distributed on the surface of a spherical rubber balloon. As it is blown up, the total electric flux coming out of the surface

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Total flux through the balloon surface =qε0= \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0} (charge on the surface counts as enclosed).
  2. Blowing up the balloon does not change qq.
  3. So the answer is (c) remains unchanged.
