1)

A spherical rubber balloon carries a charge, uniformly distributed over the surface. As the balloon is blown up and increase in size. The total electric flux coming out of the surface


A) increases

B) remains unchanged

C) becomes zero

D) decreases

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 The electric field intensity  due to the point charge q placed at the centre of a sphere of radius r,

 $E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{0}}\frac{q}{r^{2}}$

As the balloon is blown up, the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface remains the same. So, electric field intensity remains the same. The electric flux is given by

$\phi= E.dS$

$\Rightarrow$    $ \phi\propto E$

 As E remains the same, the flux remains unchanged
