Question
A hollow sphere of radius R has a point charge q at its centre. Electric flux emanating from the sphere is X. How will the electric flux change, if at all, when radius of the sphere is doubled?

Solution
The electric flux remains unchanged when the sphere's radius is doubled, while the charge 'q' remains constant.
