Question

1 a secondpoint charge is placed just outside the sphere
thesphere is replaced by a cube of one-tenth the volume
thepoint charge is moved to just outside the sphere
thesphere is replaced by a cube of the same volume
thepoint charge is moved off center (but still inside the originalsphere)

Explanation / Answer

   According to Gauss'law         Flux   E   =   q/ 0    where q is total charge enclosed ( inside )the surface. Since the formula is independent of volume, positionof charge or surface area, hence only correct option is    the point charge is moved to just outsidethe sphere
