Refer to the arrangement of charges in figure and a Gaussian surface of radius R with Q at the centre. Then

- total flux through the surface of the sphere is `(-Q)/ε_0`.
- field on the surface of the sphere is `(-Q)/(4 piε_0 R^2)`.
- flux through the surface of sphere due to 5Q is zero.
- field on the surface of sphere due to –2Q is same everywhere.

उत्तर
a and c
Explanation:
From Gauss' law, we know `oint_s vecE * dvecS = q_(enclosed)/ε_0`.
Thus, from figure, Total charge inside the Gaussian surface `q_(enclosed)` = Q – 2Q = – Q
The charge 5Q lies outside the surface, thus it makes no contribution to electric flux through the given surface.

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.
In finding the electric field using Gauss law the formula `|vec"E"| = "q"_"enc"/(epsilon_0|"A"|)` is applicable. In the formula ε0 is permittivity of free space, A is the area of Gaussian surface and qenc is charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. This equation can be used in which of the following situation?
