A charge q is surrounded by a closed surface consisting of an inverted cone of height h and base radius R, and a hemisphere of radius R as shown in the figure. The electric flux through the conical surface isnq6ε0  (in SI units). The value of n is _________.

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the Gauss law, the total flux linked with a closed surface is 1ε0 times the charge enclosed by the closed surface.  As we can see from the diagram, the given shape encloses the charge q, therefore from Gauss law, we can write total flux =qε0.
