PhysicsSingle correct+4 / -1Question 40 of 75

Two point charges 8 μC and −2 μC are located at $x=2$ cm and $x=4$ cm, respectively on the $x$ -axis. The ratio of electric flux due to these charges through two spheres of radii 3 cm and 5 cm with their centers at the origin is ________.

4 : 1

3 : 4

4 : 3

4 : 5

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

Gauss's law.

The 3 cm sphere encloses only the 8 μC charge.
The 5 cm sphere encloses both: $8-2=6$ μC.

Ratio. $\phi_1:\phi_2=8:6=4:3$ .

(C)
