NEET Physics Electric Flux Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The electric flux through a closed surface is determined by the net charge enclosed within the surface.
Reason (R): According to Gauss's law, electric flux is proportional to the surface area of the closed surface.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as Gauss's law states the electric flux depends on the net charge enclosed. However, the reason is false as electric flux is not determined by the surface area alone but by the charge enclosed.
