An insulating sphere with no charge inside is placed inside the external electric field as shown in the figure. Which of the following is true about the total electric flux on the surface of this sphere? [q(charge of the plates)=4.6.10^-5 C, r=0.5m, A(surface area of ​​the sphere)=5.2.10^-5 m^2, E =5.10^3N/C, Epsilon zero=8,85.10^-12C^2/Nm^2]

 

 
 a)

total electric flux on the surface of the sphere k.(q/Epsilon is zero)

 B)

The total electric flux on the surface of the sphere is E.A.

 NS)

the total electric flux on the surface of the sphere is zero

 D)

The total electric flux on the surface of the sphere is k.(q/r).

 TO)

total electric flux on the surface of the sphere k.(q/r^2)

Expert Solution
Step 1

According to Gauss's law   the total flux of an electric field through a closed surface is directly proportional to the electric charge enclosed by the closed surface.

In this case the charge inside the insulating sphere is zero. Thus the total flux on the surface of the sphere is zero.
