A charge q is enclosed by a Gaussian spherical surface of radius R. If the radius is reduced to half of R, the outward electric flux will be

  1. A reduced to half of its initial value
  2. B the same as its initial value
  3. C twice its initial value
  4. D four times its initial value
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) the same as its initial value

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Phi = \frac{q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\) The enclosed charge \(q_{enc} = q\) remains unchanged. The outward electric flux will be the same as its initial value.
