NEET Physics Electric Flux Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed within the surface. | Reason (R): Electric flux is dependent on the electric field and the area it penetrates.
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 a statement of Gauss's law, which relates electric flux through a surface to the charge enclosed. The reason correctly explains this by noting that electric flux depends on both the electric field and the area.
