Question

The electric flux through a closed surface depends on the?
Options
A Magnitude of the charge enclosed by the surface
Correct Answer
B Position of the charge enclosed by the surface
C None of these
D The shape of the surface
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Gauss's law: Phi = Q_enclosed/eps0. The flux depends ONLY on how much net charge is inside - not on where inside it sits, and not on the shape or size of the surface.

Hint

Gauss's law: Phi = Q_enclosed/eps0.
