Three charges of magnitude \( -2Q, -3Q \) and \( Q \) are located at \( (a, 0, 0), (3a, 0, 0) \) and \( (5a, 0, 0) \) respectively. What is the magnitude of electric flux due to these charges through a sphere of radius 4a with its centre at the origin?

  1. A \( \frac{2Q}{\epsilon_0} \)
  2. B \( \frac{5Q}{\epsilon_0} \)
  3. C zero
  4. D \( \frac{6Q}{\epsilon_0} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \frac{5Q}{\epsilon_0} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charges inside sphere: \( -2Q \) (at \( (a,0,0) \)), \( -3Q \) (at \( (3a,0,0) \)). Total enclosed charge: \( Q_{enc} = -2Q - 3Q = -5Q \). Electric flux: \( \Phi_E = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{-5Q}{\epsilon_0} \). Magnitude of electric flux:…
