How does the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by a spherical Gaussian surface get affected when its radius is increased?

Answer»

According to Gauss's law, flux through a closed surface is given by,

\(\phi = \frac{q}{\in_o}\)

Here, q is the charge enclosed by the gaussian surface. 

That is, on increasing the radius of the gaussian surface, charge q remains unchanged.

So, flux through the gaussian surface will not be affected when its radius is increased.
