Gaussian surface 1 has twice the area ofGaussian surface 2. Both surfaces enclose the same charge Q.(a) Is the electric flux through surface 1 greater than, less than, orthe same as the electric flux through surface 2? (b) Choose the bestexplanation from among the following:I. Gaussian surface 2 is closer to the charge, since it has thesmaller area. It follows that it has the greater electric flux.II. The two surfaces enclose the same charge, and hence theyhave the same electric flux.III. Electric flux is proportional to area. As a result, Gaussian surface 1 has the greater electric flux
