A positive point charge is placed at the center of an imaginary spherical surfac

Question

A positive point charge is placed at the center of an imaginary spherical surface. As a result, there is some total electric flux outward through the surface.

For each of the changes listed below, how would the total outward flux though the surface change?

The total flux increases The total flux decreases The total flux is unchanged a negative charge is placed the charge is moved off-center a positive charge is placed just outside the surface by an amount equal to half the just outside the surface radius of the spherical surface a negative charge is placed a positive charge is placed the radius of the spherical just inside the surface just inside the surface surface is doubled

Explanation / Answer

Total flux increase= a positive charge is placed inside the surface

total flux decrease = a negative charge is placed inside the surface

total flux is unchnaged = remaining 4 options will not change the flux
