Question 864: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

If the radius of the spherical gaussian surface is increased then the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by the surface

Accepted Answer

If the radius of the spherical Gaussian surface is increased, then the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by the surface remains constant.
Flux depends only on the enclosed charge. It does not depend upon the size or shape of the Gaussian surface.

Answer

increases

Answer

remains unchanged

Answer

decreases
