JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance JEE PYQ-Electrostatics and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    If the electric flux entering and leaving an enclosed surface respectively is \[{{\phi }_{1}}\] and \[{{\phi }_{2}}\], the electric charge inside the surface will be [AIEEE 2003]

    A) \[({{\phi }_{1}}-{{\phi }_{2}}){{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    B) \[({{\phi }_{1}}+{{\phi }_{2}})/{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    C) \[({{\phi }_{1}}-{{\phi }_{2}})/{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    D) \[({{\phi }_{1}}+{{\phi }_{2}}){{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] From Gauss's law,
                \[\frac{Charge\text{ }enclosed}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=\] Flux leaving the surface
                \[\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}={{\phi }_{2}}-{{\phi }_{1}}\]  (i.e, net flux)
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[q=({{\phi }_{2}}-{{\phi }_{1}}){{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]
