Question

The electric flux in a charged spherical conductor is :
A) Zero inside and outside the sphere
B) Maximum inside the sphere and zero outside
C) Zero inside the sphere and decreases with distance outside the sphere
D) Maximum inside the sphere and decreases with distance outside the sphere

Answer 1

Explanation:

The option C is correct according to gauss law 's applications

Answer 2

The electric flux in a charged spherical conductor is :

(C) Zero inside the sphere and decreases with distance outside the sphere.

- Electric flux is the measure of total no of electric field lines passing through a unit area.

- According to the Gauss's law, electric field decreases  with distance outside a spherical conductor and it is zero inside it.

- Hence, the electric flux is also zero inside the conductor and decreases with distance outside the sphere.
