  • A
    $\phi_1 > \phi_2$

$A$ point charge $+10 \; \mu C$ is at a distance $5 \; cm$ directly above the centre of a square of side $10 \; cm$,as shown in the figure. What is the magnitude of the electric flux through the square?

Assertion: Four point charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ and $q_4$ are as shown in the figure. The flux over the shown Gaussian surface depends only on charges $q_1$ and $q_2$.
Reason: Electric field at all points on the Gaussian surface depends only on charges $q_1$ and $q_2$.

Discuss some points about Gauss's law.

Is electric flux a scalar or a vector quantity?

The inward and outward electric flux for a closed surface in units of $N \cdot m^2/C$ are respectively $8 \times 10^3$ and $4 \times 10^3$. Then the total charge inside the surface is [where $\varepsilon_0$ = permittivity constant].
