The electric flux over a sphere of radius ' \(r\) ' is ' \(\phi\) '. If the radius of the sphere is doubled without changing the charge, the flux will be

  1. A \(4 \phi\)
  2. B \(2 \phi\)
  3. C \(\phi\)
  4. D \(\frac{\phi}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\phi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using Gauss's law, \(\phi=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\)
\(\Rightarrow \phi \propto q\)
\(\therefore \frac{\phi_2}{\phi}=\frac{q}{q}\)
\(\therefore ~\ldots\)(charge q is kept the same)
