    If the radius of the Gaussian surface were doubled, how much flux would pass through the surface? (b) What is the value of the point charge?
    Ans : Electric flux, Φ = -1.0 × 103 N m2/C

    Radius of the Gaussian surface,

    r = 10.0 cm

    Electric flux piercing out through a surface depends on the net charge enclosed inside a body. It does not depend on the size of the body. If the radius of the Gaussian surface is doubled, then the flux passing through the surface remains the same i.e., -103 N m2/C.
    (b) Electric flux is given by the relation,



    Where,

    q = Net charge enclosed by the spherical surface

    `` \epsilon``0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10-12 N-1C2 m-2

    ∴

    = -1.0 × 103 × 8.854 × 10-12

    = -8.854 × 10-9 C

    = -8.854 nC

    Therefore, the value of the point charge is -8.854 nC.
