The figure shows four charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ and $q_4$ fixed in space. The total flux of the electric field through a closed surface $S$,due to all charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ and $q_4$ is:

  • A
    not equal to the total flux through $S$ due to charges $q_3$ and $q_4$
  • B
    equal to the total flux through $S$ due to charges $q_3$ and $q_4$
  • C
    zero if $q_1 + q_2 = q_3 + q_4$
  • D
    twice the total flux through $S$ due to charges $q_3$ and $q_4$ if $q_1 + q_2 = q_3 + q_4$
