Question

What is the total flux through a sphere due to + q and - q charge enclosed on it ?

Open in App

Solution

Total charge enclosed inside sphere = q-q = 0

according to gauss theorem total flux from a closed surface = charge enclosed / epsilon not.

So flux = 0/ epsilon not

flux = 0.

Answer is 0.
