    Flux passing through the shaded surface of a sphere when point charge q is placed when a point charge q is placed at the center is (radius of the sphere is R)

    A) \[q/{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    B) \[q/2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    C) \[q/4{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    D) zero

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\alpha =60{}^\circ ,\] Solid angle subtended by BCD is \[\omega =2\pi \left( 1\cos \alpha  \right)=\pi \] Solid angle subtended ABDE is \[{{\omega }_{\left( ABCDE \right)}}-{{\omega }_{\left( BCD \right)}}=2\pi -\pi =\pi \] Hence, flux trough ABDE is \[\phi =\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{\pi }{4\pi }=\frac{q}{4{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]
