Question

1. If the surface of the sphere is reshaped to be an egg-like ellipsis how does this change the value of the flux? 2. If the radius of the sphere is tripled, how does this change the value of the flux? 3. If another charge of the same magnitude is placed outside of the sphere, how does this change the value of the flux? 1.

Explanation / Answer

Here, for the total flux through the sphere is given by

total flux through the sphere = charge inside/epsilon_0

hence , total flux through the sphere is dependent only on the charge inside the sphere .

1) No, the flux will not change as the charge present inside is not changing.
2) NO , the flux will not change as the charge present inside is not changing

3) as the charge outside does not affect the amount of charge inside the sphere , the flux will not change
