Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{q}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total flux through complete spherical surface is \(\frac{ q }{\varepsilon_{0}}\)

So the flux through curved surface will be \(\frac{q}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\). The flux through flat surface will be zero.

Remark : Electric flux through flat surface is zero but no option is given, option is available for electric flux passing through curved surface.
