A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a potential V. The flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the positive plate of the capacitor is:
  1. CVε0
  2. Zero
  3. 2CVε0
  4. CV2ε0

Solution


 The charge enclosed is given by qinc=CV  

Gauss' law states that the flux through any closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed by the surface.

 Using Gauss' law the flux is,  ϕ=qinc ε0=CVε0
