Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( v=ar^{3}+b \)
\( E=-\frac{dv}{dr}=-3ar^{2} \)
\( \phi_{closed}=\frac{q_{cnc}}{\epsilon_{0}} \)
\( q_{cnc}=\epsilon_{0}.E.A \)
\( =\epsilon_{0}(-3a.(1)^{2})4\pi(1)^{2} \)
\( =-12\pi a\epsilon_{0} \)
\(\therefore x =-12\)
