Four equal charges q are placed at center of a conducting hollow sphere. If they are displaced 1.5 cm from center, the change in flux will be (Radius of sphere> 1.5 cm):
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The total electric flux passing normally through a closed surface of any shape in an electric field is equal to 
times the total charge present with in that surface i.e.,
φ φ = 
since, charges are displaced ± 1.5 cm from center of sphere so, there will be no change in flux passing through the sphere.
