Consider a spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin. A charge Q is placed inside the sphere. Where should the charge be located to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface?
A) at x = 0, y = 0, z = R/2
B) at the origin
C) at x = R/2, y = 0, z = 0
D) at x = 0, y = R/2, z = 0
E) The flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere
