Consider the four surfaces $S_1, S_2, S_3,$ and $S_4$ enclosing the same charge $q_1$ as shown in the figure. Compare the electric flux through these surfaces.

  • A
    is minimum for $S_1$
  • B
    is maximum for $S_4$
  • C
    is equal to the flux through $S_2$ but less than $S_4$
  • D
    is equal for all surfaces
