Question

A capacitor of capacitance c is charged to a potential v. The flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the capacitor is

Answer 1

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Electric flux = Zero

◆ Explaination -

For a closed surface, total of the electric flux is equal to the net charge enclosed divided by the permittivity.

As capacitor have two plates with equal and opposite charge, total charge on the the capacitor will be zero.

Therefore, electric flux paasing through closed surface enclosing the capacitor will be zero.

Thanks for asking..
