A hollow spherical shell of radius \(r\) has a uniform charge density \(\sigma\). It is kept in a cube of edge \(3 r\) such that the centres of the cube and the shell coincide. Then the electric flux coming out of one face of a cube is ( \(\varepsilon_0\) - permittivity of free space)

  1. A \(\frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^2 \sigma}{\varepsilon_0}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5 \varepsilon_0}{2 \pi r^2 \sigma}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi \mathrm{r}^2 \sigma}{6 \varepsilon_0}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 \pi r^2 \sigma}{3 \varepsilon_0}\)
