Q.7. A charge q is placed at the centre of the open end of a cylindrical vessel. The flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is
(a) Q / ε_o 
(b) Q / 2ε_o 
(c) Q / 4ε_o  
(d) zero

Q.8. Which of the following graphs correctly show the change of electric flux Φ with time t through the surface S when the charge +Q is moved away from the surface?

Answer

Answer: (c) Since electric field due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the square of distance therefore the field decreases at the place of surface S as the charge + Q moves away. Therefore the flux given by Φ=ES cosθ also decreases.
