NEET Physics Electric Flux Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within the surface. | Reason (R): Electric flux depends on the area through which the electric field lines pass.
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 per Gauss's law, which relates total electric flux to the charge enclosed. However, the reason incorrectly relates flux to area rather than the charge, making R not the explanation for A.
