and are two hollow concentric cubes enclosing charges and respectively as shown in figure. The ratio of electric flux passing through and is : 

- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Use Gauss's law
The electric flux through any closed surface is given by
-
Flux through cube
From the figure/text, the inner cube encloses charge . Hence,
-
Flux through cube
The outer cube encloses both charges, since it is concentric and larger. So total enclosed charge by is Therefore,
-
Find the ratio
-
Match with options
corresponds to Option C.
-
Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = C.
This matches our derived answer.
