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.
