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

A charge Q is placed at a distance of 4R above the center of a disc of radius R. The magnitude of flux through the disc is φ φ . Now a hemispherical shell of radius R is placed over the disc such that it forms a closed surface. The flux through the curved surface (taking direction of area vector along outward normal as positive), is -

A
zero
B
φ φ
C
– φ φ
D
2 φ φ

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

For the closed surface made by disc and hemisphere

qin = 0

φ φ net = 0

φ φ disc + φ φ H.S = 0

φ φ HS = – φ φ disc = – φ φ
