Answer:

Correct Answer: 35. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Net flux emitted from a spherical surface of radius a according to Gauss’s theorem

$\phi _{\text{net }}=\frac{q _{\text{in }}}{\varepsilon_0}$ or, $(A a)(4 \pi a^{2})=\frac{q _{\text{in }}}{\varepsilon_0}$

So, $q _{in}=4 \pi \varepsilon_0 A a^{3}$

Electric flux is equal to the product of an area element $A$ and the perpendicular component of electric field $E$ integrated over a surface. $\phi=$ E.A $\cos \theta$
