1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

A charge $q$ is placed at the centre of the open end of cylindrical vessel. The flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is

AZero
B$\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$
C$\frac{q}{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}$
D$\frac{{2q}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$

Solution

(c) To apply Gauss's theorem it is essential that charge should be placed inside a closed surface. So imagine another similar cylindrical vessel above it as shown in figure (dotted).
