The figure shows a surface, S, with two charges q and -2q. The net flux through the surface is A) q/$\isin$₀ B) -2q/$\isin$₀ C) -q/$\isin$₀ D) zero E) None of these is correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within that surface according to Gauss's law. In this case, the charges q and -2q cancel out due to their opposite signs, resulting in a net charge of zero. Therefore, the net flux through the surface is also zero.
