A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V. The flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the positive plate of the capacitor is:
A
B
Zero
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The charge enclosed is given by q inc = CV
Gauss' law states that the flux through any closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed by the surface. Using Gauss' law the flux is,
