A spherical rubber balloon carries a charge that is uniformly distribu

1.	A spherical rubber balloon carries a charge that is uniformly distributed over its surface. As the balloon is blown up and increases in size, how does the total electric flux coming out of the surface change? Give reason.
Answer» Total electric flux through the surface = \(\cfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\) As charge remains unchanged when size of balloon increases, electric flux through the surface remains unchanged.

Total electric flux through the surface = \(\cfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\)

As charge remains unchanged when size of balloon increases, electric flux through the surface remains unchanged.
