उत्तर
c and d
Explanation:
We know electric flux is proportional to the number of electric field lines and the term `oint_s` E.dS represents electric flux over the closed surface.
It means `oint_s` E.dS represents the algebraic sum of the number of flux lines entering the surface and number of flux lines leaving the surface.
If `oint_s` E.dS = 0, this means the number of flux lines entering the surface must be equal to the number of flux lines leaving it.
From Gauss’ law, we know `oint_sE.dS = q/ϵ_0`, here q is the charge enclosed by , the closed surface. If `oint_sE.dS` = 0 then q = 0, i.e., net charge enclosed by the surface must be zero.
Hence all other charges must necessarily be outside the surface. This is because of the fact that charges outside the surface do not contribute to the electric flux.

Consider a region inside which there are various types of charges but the total charge is zero. At points outside the region
- the electric field is necessarily zero.
- the electric field is due to the dipole moment of the charge distribution only.

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.
The region between two concentric spheres of radii a < b contain volume charge density ρ(r) = `"c"/"r"`, where c is constant and r is radial- distanct from centre no figure needed. A point charge q is placed at the origin, r = 0. Value of c is in such a way for which the electric field in the region between the spheres is constant (i.e. independent of r). Find the value of c:
