Answer:

B. It is directly proportional to the source charge.

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the total (net) flux of an electric field at points on a closed surface is directly proportional to the electric charge enclosed by that surface.

This ultimately implies that, Gauss's law relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.

This electromagnetism law was formulated in 1835 by famous scientists known as Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Mathematically, Gauss's law is given by this formula;

ϕ = (Q/ϵ0)

Where;

ϕ is the electric flux.

Q represents the total charge in an enclosed surface.

ε0 is the electric constant.

Hence, the statement which is true of the electric field at a distance from the source charge is that it is directly proportional to the source charge.

If the charge remains the same but the radius of the sphere is doubled, the electric flux coming out of it will be
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Gauss's theorem for electric flux to solve the problem . According to this theorem , total electric flux coming out of a charge q can be given by the following relation .

∫ E ds = q / ε

Here q is assumed to be enclosed in a closed surface , E is electric intensity on the surface so

∫ E ds represents total electric flux passing through the closed surface due to charge q enclosed in the surface .

This also represents total flux coming out of the charge q on all sides .

This is equal to q / ε where ε is a constant called permittivity  which depends upon the medium enclosing the charge . For air , its value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹² .

If charge remains the same but radius of the sphere enclosing the charge is doubled , the flux coming out of charge will remain the same .

It is so because flux coming out of charge q is q / ε . It does not depend upon surface area enclosing the charge . It depends upon two factors

1 ) charge q and

2 ) the permittivity of medium  ε  around .
