Question
A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch (figure). As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface S is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:

  1. Is increased.
  2. Is decreased.
  3. Remains unchanged.
  4. Remains zero.

Answer

  1. Remains unchanged.

Explanation:

The flux of the electric field through the closed surface is remain unchanged.

Because the no. of electric field lines enter in the closed path = no. of electric field lines existsin the closed path.
