If the radius of the spherical Gaussian surface is increased then the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by the surface
  1. remains unchanged
  2. zero
  3. increases
  4. decreases

Solution

Flux depends on the charge enclosed. Therefore, size of the Gaussian sphere would not affect the net flux.
