A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V. The flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the positive plate of the capacitor is:
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)✓ Correct
- (D)Zero
Answer: (C)
Solution
By Gauss's law, the electric flux through a closed surface is , where is the charge enclosed. The positive plate carries charge . Therefore, the flux is .
