If the electric flux entering and leaving an enclosed surface respectively are 
the electric charge inside the surface will be
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge inside the surface divided by 
Therefore 
Let q 1 be the charge, due to which flux ϕ is entering the surface (this charge will be -ve)
Let 
be the charge due to which flux ϕ 2 is leaving the surface
So, electric charge inside the surface
