Question
Electric charges are distributed in a small volume. The flux of the electric field through a spherical surface of radius 10 cm surrounding the total charge is 25 V m. The flux over a concentric sphere of radius 20 cm will be _____________ .

a
b
c
d

Solution
25 V m
The flux through a surface does not depend on its shape and size; it only depends upon the charge enclosed inside the volume. Here, the charge enclosed by the sphere of radius 10 cm and the sphere of radius 20 cm is same so the flux through them will also be same.
