Question

Find the electric flux through a cylindrical Guassian surface produced by a point charge at base.

Answer 1

Electric flux will be
`\Phi =(q)/(\epsilon _0)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point charge enclosed by Gaussian surface is q

We have to find the electric flux through this Gaussian surface

According to Gauss law electric flux through any closed surface is equal to
`(1)/(\epsilon _0)` times of charged enclosed by the surface.

So electric flux will be
`\Phi =(q)/(\epsilon _0)`

Gauss law is only valid for closed surface it is not applied for open surface
