Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Electric Flux and Gauss's Law MCQ (Single Correct)

A square of side 20 cm is enclosed by a surface of sphere of radius 80 cm. Square and sphere have the same centre. Four charges + 2 × 10 –6 C, –5 × 10 –6 C, –3 × 10 6 C, + 6 × 10 –6 C are located at the four corners of a square, then outgoing flux from spherical surface in N-m 2 /C will be-

A
Zero
B
16π × 10 –16
C
8 π × 10 –6
D
36 π × 10 –6
