Physics-Electric Flux

NEET Physics Electric Flux Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The electric flux through a surface is zero if the net charge enclosed by the surface is zero. | Reason (R): According to Gauss's law, the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed within the surface.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false, but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Both the assertion and the reason are true as per Gauss's law, which states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed within the surface, hence if the net charge is zero, the flux is zero.
