Solution
The correct options are A If Q1 changes, both E and ϕ will change B If Q2 changes, E will change but ϕ will not change D If Q1 = 0 and Q2≠ 0 then E ≠ 0 but ϕ = 0 As the electric field at any point on surface S is the resultant effect due to all charges in the system, so field at any point on S is E=E1+E2 where E1 is the field due to Q1 and E2 is the field due to Q2
Applying Gauss's law, the flux over S , ϕ=Qenϵ0 where Qen=Q1= charge enclosed by S.
Thus field depends on both charges but flux is only depends on the charges Q1.
So according to this the options A,B and C will be correct.
