    Consider if the electric flux entering and leaving an enclosed surface respectively are \[{{\phi }_{1}}\] and \[{{\phi }_{2}}\], the electric charge inside the surface will be

    A) \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}({{\phi }_{1}}+{{\phi }_{2}})\]                          

    B) \[\frac{{{\phi }_{2}}-{{\phi }_{1}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{\phi }_{1}}-{{\phi }_{2}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]                              

    D) \[\frac{{{\phi }_{1}}+{{\phi }_{2}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Gauss theorem, "the net electric flux through any closed Surface is equal to the net charge inside the surface divided by\[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]." Therefore,         \[\phi =\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] Let - q be the charge, due to which the flux \[\phi \], is entering the surface, \[{{\phi }_{1}}=-\frac{{{q}_{1}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-{{q}_{1}}={{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{\phi }_{1}}\] Let \[+{{q}_{2}}\] be the charge, due to which the flux \[{{\phi }_{2}}\]  is leaving the surface \[\therefore \]  \[{{\phi }_{2}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\Rightarrow q={{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{\phi }_{2}}\] So, charge inside the surface \[={{q}_{2}}-{{q}_{1}}\] \[={{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{\phi }_{2}}+{{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{\phi }_{1}}={{\varepsilon }_{0}}({{\phi }_{1}}+{{\phi }_{2}})\]
