A uniformly charged and infinitely long line having a liner charge density ‘λ’ is placed at a normal distance y from a point O. Consider a sphere of radius R with O as center and 
. Electric flux through the surface of the sphere is:
A
zero
B

D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
electric flux 
is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface which, in the present case, is the surface of given sphere. As shown, length AB of line lies inside the sphere.
In
