MCQ
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:
  • A
    Is increased.
  • B
    Is decreased.
  • Remains unchanged.
  • D
    Remains zero.

Answer

Correct option: C.
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.
