Electric Flux & Gauss's Law

If the radius of the spherical Gaussian surface is increased then the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by the surface

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Gauss's law: ϕ=qencε0\phi = \dfrac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_0} depends only on the enclosed charge, not on the size of the surface.
  2. So the answer is (b) remains unchanged.
