उत्तर
is the same for all the figures.
Explanation:
According to Gauss’ law of electrostatics, the total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity,
i.e., `phi = (Q_(enclosed))/ε_0`
Thus, electric flux through a surface doesn’t depend on the shape, size or area of a surface but it depends on the amount of charge enclosed by the surface.
In the given figures the charge enclosed is the same that means the electric flux through all the surfaces should be the same.

In 1959 Lyttleton and Bondi suggested that the expansion of the Universe could be explained if matter carried a net charge. Suppose that the Universe is made up of hydrogen atoms with a number density N, which is maintained a constant. Let the charge on the proton be: ep = – (1 + y)e where e is the electronic charge.
- Find the critical value of y such that expansion may start.
- Show that the velocity of expansion is proportional to the distance from the centre.
