Solution

The correct option is B 25 N-m2/C

Electric flux through a spherical surface,
Φ=25 N-m2/C

Radius of spherical surface, r=10 cm

Radius of concentric spherical surface, R=20 cm


We know that, electric flux through a spherical surface,

ϕ=q0

From the above expression we can say that electric flux is independent of radius.

Therefore, the flux over a concentric sphere of radius 20 cm will be equal to flux through spherical surface of radius 10 cm

ϕ=25 N-m2/C

So, option (a) is correct.
