Question

One point electric charge $Q$ is placed at the point $P$. A closed surface is placed near the point $P$. The electrical flux passing through a closed surface will be _________.

• A. $Q{ϵ}_0$
• B. ${ϵ}_0/Q$
• C. $Q/{ϵ}_0$
• D. Zero

Answer 1

The correct option is D Zero

Since, the charged is outside the closed surface.

$\therefore$ The electric flux through the closed surface will be zero.

As, $\varphi =\frac{{\varphi }_{net}}{{ϵ}_o}$

${\varphi }_{net}=0$

$\therefore \varphi =0$
