Electric Field Lines, Electric Flux and Gauss's Law Questions in English

(A) The electric flux $\phi$ is given by the dot product of the electric field vector $\overrightarrow{E}$ and the area vector $\overrightarrow{A}$.
The area vector is defined as $\overrightarrow{A} = A \hat{n} = 4 \left( \frac{2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{6}} \right) \ m^2$.
The electric flux is calculated as:
$\phi = \overrightarrow{E} \cdot \overrightarrow{A}$
$\phi = \left( \frac{2 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} + 8 \hat{k}}{\sqrt{6}} \right) \cdot \left( 4 \frac{2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{6}} \right)$
$\phi = \frac{4}{6} \times (2 \times 2 + 6 \times 1 + 8 \times 1)$
$\phi = \frac{4}{6} \times (4 + 6 + 8)$
$\phi = \frac{4}{6} \times 18$
$\phi = 4 \times 3 = 12 \ Vm$.

(B) According to Gauss's law,the electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{\text{in}}}{\epsilon_0}$,where $q_{\text{in}}$ is the net charge enclosed by the surface.
From the figure,the charges enclosed by the surface $S$ are $+q, +5q,$ and $-2q$.
The charges $+3q$ and $-4q$ are outside the surface $S$,so they do not contribute to the electric flux through the surface.
Therefore,the net enclosed charge is $q_{\text{in}} = (+q) + (+5q) + (-2q) = 4q$.
Substituting this into Gauss's law,we get $\phi = \frac{4q}{\epsilon_0}$.

(D) Given,electric field $\overrightarrow{E} = 2x\hat{i} \text{ NC}^{-1}$.
The cube is placed between $x = 2 \text{ m}$ and $x = 4 \text{ m}$. The side length of the cube is $a = 2 \text{ m}$,so the area of each face is $A = a^2 = (2)^2 = 4 \text{ m}^2$.
Electric flux is given by $\phi = \int \overrightarrow{E} \cdot d\overrightarrow{A}$.
For the left face at $x = 2 \text{ m}$,the area vector is $\overrightarrow{A}_1 = -4\hat{i} \text{ m}^2$ and $\overrightarrow{E}_1 = 2(2)\hat{i} = 4\hat{i} \text{ NC}^{-1}$.
$\phi_{\text{in}} = \overrightarrow{E}_1 \cdot \overrightarrow{A}_1 = (4\hat{i}) \cdot (-4\hat{i}) = -16 \text{ Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-1}$.
For the right face at $x = 4 \text{ m}$,the area vector is $\overrightarrow{A}_2 = 4\hat{i} \text{ m}^2$ and $\overrightarrow{E}_2 = 2(4)\hat{i} = 8\hat{i} \text{ NC}^{-1}$.
$\phi_{\text{out}} = \overrightarrow{E}_2 \cdot \overrightarrow{A}_2 = (8\hat{i}) \cdot (4\hat{i}) = 32 \text{ Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-1}$.
The net electric flux through the cube is $\phi_{\text{net}} = \phi_{\text{in}} + \phi_{\text{out}} = -16 + 32 = 16 \text{ Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-1}$.

(A) According to Gauss's Law,the electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
$1$. Disk: The disk has radius $a/4$ and center at $(-a/2, 0, 0)$. The cube extends from $x = -a/2$ to $x = a/2$. Since the disk is in the $x-y$ plane,only the part of the disk with $x > -a/2$ is inside the cube. The disk spans from $x = -a/2 - a/4 = -3a/4$ to $x = -a/2 + a/4 = -a/4$. The portion inside the cube is from $x = -a/2$ to $x = -a/4$. By symmetry,exactly half of the disk is inside the cube. Thus,$Q_{\text{disk, enclosed}} = 6 \text{ C} / 2 = 3 \text{ C}$.
$2$. Rod: The rod spans from $x = a/4$ to $x = 5a/4$. The cube boundary is at $x = a/2$. The portion of the rod inside the cube is from $x = a/4$ to $x = a/2$. The length of the rod inside the cube is $a/2 - a/4 = a/4$. Since the total length is $a$,the fraction of charge inside is $(a/4) / a = 1/4$. Thus,$Q_{\text{rod, enclosed}} = 8 \text{ C} \times (1/4) = 2 \text{ C}$.
$3$. Point charges: The point charge $-7 \text{ C}$ is at $(a/4, -a/4, 0)$,which is inside the cube (since $|a/4| < a/2$ and $|-a/4| < a/2$). The point charge $3 \text{ C}$ is at $(-3a/4, 3a/4, 0)$,which is outside the cube (since $|-3a/4| > a/2$).
$4$. Total enclosed charge: $Q_{\text{enclosed}} = 3 \text{ C} + 2 \text{ C} - 7 \text{ C} = -2 \text{ C}$.
Therefore,the electric flux is $\phi = \frac{-2 \text{ C}}{\varepsilon_0}$.

(D) The solid angle subtended by the flat circular base at the position of the charge $+Q$ is given by $\Omega = 2\pi(1 - \cos\theta)$.
In the given geometry,the charge is at the pole of the hemisphere,so the angle $\theta$ subtended by the radius of the base at the charge is $45^{\circ}$.
Thus,$\Omega = 2\pi(1 - \cos 45^{\circ}) = 2\pi(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.
The flux through the flat surface is $\Phi_{flat} = \frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0} \times \frac{\Omega}{4\pi} = \frac{Q}{2\varepsilon_0}(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.
Since the charge is outside the closed hemisphere,the net flux through the entire surface is zero. Therefore,the flux through the curved surface is $\Phi_{curved} = -\Phi_{flat} = -\frac{Q}{2\varepsilon_0}(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$. Statement $A$ is correct.
Statement $B$ is incorrect because the total flux through a closed surface not enclosing the charge is zero.
Statement $C$ is incorrect because the electric field varies with distance from the charge.
Statement $D$ is correct because all points on the circumference of the flat base are at the same distance $R$ from the point charge $+Q$,making the potential $V = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R}$ constant along the circumference.

(A) $1$. The number of electric field lines originating from a charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. By counting the lines,we see that more lines originate from $Q_1$ than terminate at $Q_2$,which implies $|Q_1| > |Q_2|$. Thus,statement $(A)$ is correct.
$2$. Since the charges have opposite signs (lines originate from $Q_1$ and terminate at $Q_2$),the neutral point (where the electric field is zero) must lie on the line joining the charges,outside the region between them,and closer to the charge with the smaller magnitude.
$3$. Since $|Q_1| > |Q_2|$,the neutral point must be closer to $Q_2$. Therefore,the electric field is zero at a finite distance to the right of $Q_2$. Thus,statement $(D)$ is correct.
$4$. Combining these,the correct option is $(A, D)$.

(C) The shaded area is a square in the $xz$-plane tilted at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the $x$-axis. The vertices of the square are $(0,0,0)$,$(0,a,0)$,$(a,a,a)$,and $(a,0,a)$.
The area vector $\vec{A}$ has a magnitude equal to the area of the square,which is $a \times a \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2} a^2$. The direction of the area vector is perpendicular to the surface. Since the surface lies in a plane defined by $y=z$ (or $z-y=0$),the normal vector is proportional to $\hat{j} - \hat{k}$.
Alternatively,we can define the area vector by the cross product of two adjacent sides: $\vec{A} = \vec{AB} \times \vec{AD}$. Let $\vec{AB} = a\hat{j}$ and $\vec{AD} = a\hat{i} + a\hat{k}$.
Then $\vec{A} = (a\hat{j}) \times (a\hat{i} + a\hat{k}) = a^2(\hat{j} \times \hat{i}) + a^2(\hat{j} \times \hat{k}) = -a^2\hat{k} + a^2\hat{i} = a^2\hat{i} - a^2\hat{k}$.
The electric flux $\phi$ is given by $\phi = \vec{E} \cdot \vec{A}$.
Given $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}$,we have:
$\phi = (E_0 \hat{i}) \cdot (a^2 \hat{i} - a^2 \hat{k})$
$\phi = E_0 a^2 (\hat{i} \cdot \hat{i}) - E_0 a^2 (\hat{i} \cdot \hat{k})$
Since $\hat{i} \cdot \hat{i} = 1$ and $\hat{i} \cdot \hat{k} = 0$,we get:
$\phi = E_0 a^2$.

(C) The total charge enclosed by the cube is $Q_{\text{enclosed}} = -q + 3q - q = q$.
According to Gauss's Law,the net electric flux through the entire closed surface is $\phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\varepsilon_0} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$. Thus,option $(C)$ is correct.
The charges are located on the $y$-axis at $(0, -a/4, 0)$,$(0, 0, 0)$,and $(0, a/4, 0)$.
Since the charge distribution is symmetric with respect to the $yz$-plane $(x=0)$,the flux through the plane $x = +a/2$ must be equal to the flux through the plane $x = -a/2$. Thus,option $(A)$ is correct.
The charge distribution is not symmetric with respect to the $xz$-plane $(y=0)$. The charges are located at $y = -a/4, 0, a/4$. The plane $y = +a/2$ is closer to the charge at $y = +a/4$ than the plane $y = -a/2$ is to the charge at $y = -a/4$. However,by calculating the flux,one finds the flux through $y = +a/2$ and $y = -a/2$ are actually equal due to the specific arrangement of charges. Thus,$(B)$ is incorrect.
By symmetry of the charge distribution with respect to the $xy$-plane $(z=0)$,the flux through $z = +a/2$ is equal to the flux through $z = -a/2$. Comparing this to the flux through $x = +a/2$,we find they are equal. Thus,$(D)$ is correct.

(A) According to Gauss's law,the electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0}$.
The length of the wire segment $PQ$ inside the spherical shell is $L = 2R \sin(120^{\circ}/2) = 2R \sin(60^{\circ}) = 2R \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = R\sqrt{3}$.
The charge enclosed by the shell is $Q_{\text{enclosed}} = \lambda L = \lambda R \sqrt{3}$.
Therefore,the electric flux through the shell is $\phi = \frac{\lambda R \sqrt{3}}{\epsilon_0}$. Thus,statement $(A)$ is true and $(C)$ is false.
Since the wire is parallel to the $z$-axis,the electric field lines are directed radially outward from the wire in the $xy$-plane. Therefore,the electric field has no component along the $z$-axis. Thus,statement $(B)$ is true.
The electric field is only normal to the surface of the shell if the charge distribution is spherically symmetric,which is not the case here. Thus,statement $(D)$ is false.
Therefore,the correct statements are $(A)$ and $(B)$.

(A-D) According to Gauss's Law,the flux $\Phi$ through a closed surface is $\frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}$.
$(1)$ If $h > 2R$ and $r > R$,the entire shell is enclosed by the cylinder. Thus,$q_{enclosed} = Q$ and $\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$. This is correct.
$(2)$ If $h < \frac{8R}{5}$ and $r = \frac{3R}{5}$,the cylinder is entirely inside the shell. Since the electric field inside a charged shell is zero,the flux through the cylinder is $\Phi = 0$. This is correct.
$(3)$ If $h > 2R$ and $r = \frac{4R}{5}$,the cylinder intersects the shell. The flux is due to the charge on the spherical caps cut by the cylinder. The solid angle subtended by a cap is $\Omega = 2\pi(1 - \cos\theta)$,where $\sin\theta = \frac{r}{R} = \frac{4}{5}$,so $\cos\theta = \frac{3}{5}$. The flux through one cap is $\frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times \Omega = \frac{Q}{2\epsilon_0}(1 - \cos\theta)$. For two caps,$\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}(1 - \frac{3}{5}) = \frac{2Q}{5\epsilon_0}$. This is correct.
$(4)$ If $h > 2R$ and $r = \frac{3R}{5}$,then $\sin\theta = \frac{3}{5}$,so $\cos\theta = \frac{4}{5}$. The flux is $\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}(1 - \frac{4}{5}) = \frac{Q}{5\epsilon_0}$. This is correct.

(C) According to Gauss's Law,the electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
The total charge $Q$ on the disc is:
$Q = \int_0^R \sigma(r) \cdot 2\pi r \, dr = \int_0^R \sigma_0 \left(1 - \frac{r}{R}\right) 2\pi r \, dr = 2\pi \sigma_0 \int_0^R \left(r - \frac{r^2}{R}\right) dr = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} - \frac{r^3}{3R} \right]_0^R = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left( \frac{R^2}{2} - \frac{R^2}{3} \right) = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left( \frac{R^2}{6} \right) = \frac{\pi \sigma_0 R^2}{3}$.
Thus,$\phi_0 = \frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0} = \frac{\pi \sigma_0 R^2}{3\varepsilon_0}$.
The charge $q$ enclosed by a concentric spherical surface of radius $r' = \frac{R}{4}$ is the charge on the disc within that radius:
$q = \int_0^{R/4} \sigma(r) \cdot 2\pi r \, dr = 2\pi \sigma_0 \int_0^{R/4} \left(r - \frac{r^2}{R}\right) dr = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} - \frac{r^3}{3R} \right]_0^{R/4} = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left( \frac{R^2}{32} - \frac{R^3}{3R \cdot 64} \right) = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left( \frac{R^2}{32} - \frac{R^2}{192} \right) = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left( \frac{6R^2 - R^2}{192} \right) = 2\pi \sigma_0 \left( \frac{5R^2}{192} \right) = \frac{5\pi \sigma_0 R^2}{96}$.
Thus,$\phi = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0} = \frac{5\pi \sigma_0 R^2}{96\varepsilon_0}$.
The ratio $\frac{\phi_0}{\phi}$ is:
$\frac{\phi_0}{\phi} = \frac{\pi \sigma_0 R^2 / 3\varepsilon_0}{5\pi \sigma_0 R^2 / 96\varepsilon_0} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{96}{5} = \frac{32}{5} = 6.40$.

(C) The electric flux through a surface is related to the solid angle subtended by the surface at the line charge. Alternatively,we can use the concept of symmetry. The rectangular surface has a width $a$ and length $L$. The distance from the line charge to the center of the rectangle is $d = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a$.
The angle $\theta$ subtended by the width $a$ at the line charge is given by $\tan(\theta/2) = \frac{a/2}{d} = \frac{a/2}{(\sqrt{3}/2)a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Thus,$\theta/2 = 30^{\circ}$,which means $\theta = 60^{\circ}$.
The total angle around the line charge is $360^{\circ}$. The number of such identical rectangular surfaces required to enclose the line charge completely is $n = \frac{360^{\circ}}{60^{\circ}} = 6$.
According to Gauss's Law,the total flux through a closed surface enclosing a charge $q_{enclosed}$ is $\frac{q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$. For a length $L$ of the line charge,the enclosed charge is $q = \lambda L$.
Since the flux is distributed equally among the $6$ surfaces,the flux through one surface is $\phi = \frac{\lambda L}{6 \varepsilon_0}$.
Comparing this with the given expression $\frac{\lambda L}{n \varepsilon_0}$,we get $n = 6$.

(D) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\phi_{\text{total}} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
The closed surface consists of two parts: the hemisphere and the conical surface.
Therefore,$\phi_{\text{hemisphere}} + \phi_{\text{cone}} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Since the charge $q$ is placed exactly at the center of the circular base,which is the common boundary between the hemisphere and the cone,the electric field lines are distributed symmetrically.
The hemisphere covers a solid angle of $2\pi$ steradians,and the cone also covers a solid angle of $2\pi$ steradians (since the total solid angle around a point is $4\pi$ steradians).
Thus,the flux is divided equally between the two surfaces:
$\phi_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \right) = \frac{q}{2\epsilon_0}$
$\phi_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \right) = \frac{q}{2\epsilon_0}$
We are given that the flux through the conical surface is $\frac{nq}{6\epsilon_0}$.
Equating the two expressions for the flux through the cone:
$\frac{nq}{6\epsilon_0} = \frac{q}{2\epsilon_0}$
$\frac{n}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$
$n = 3$.

(C) The solid angle subtended by a cone of half-angle $\theta$ is given by $\Omega = 2\pi(1 - \cos \theta)$.
Since there are two such cones (top and bottom) subtending the plane surfaces of the cylinder, the total solid angle subtended by the two plane surfaces is $\Omega_{total} = 2 \times 2\pi(1 - \cos \theta) = 4\pi(1 - \cos \theta)$.
The solid angle subtended by the curved surface is the total solid angle $4\pi$ minus the solid angle of the plane surfaces:
$\Omega_{curved} = 4\pi - 4\pi(1 - \cos \theta) = 4\pi \cos \theta$.
The electric flux $\Phi$ through a surface is given by $\Phi = \frac{q \Omega}{4\pi \epsilon_0}$.
Thus, the flux through the curved surface is $\Phi(\theta) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0} (4\pi \cos \theta) = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \cos \theta$.
For $\theta = 30^{\circ}$, $\Phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \cos 30^{\circ}$.
For $\theta = 60^{\circ}$, $\Phi' = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} \cos 60^{\circ}$.
Taking the ratio: $\frac{\Phi}{\Phi'} = \frac{\cos 30^{\circ}}{\cos 60^{\circ}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}/2}{1/2} = \sqrt{3}$.
Therefore, $\Phi' = \frac{\Phi}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Comparing this with $\Phi / \sqrt{n}$, we get $n = 3$.

(A) The total length of the line charge is $L = \frac{a}{2}$.
The total charge $q$ of the line charge is $q = \lambda L = \lambda \left( \frac{a}{2} \right) = \frac{\lambda a}{2}$.
This line charge is placed at the center of an edge of the cube. An edge is shared by $4$ identical cubes in a symmetric arrangement.
Therefore, the fraction of the charge enclosed by the given cube is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the total charge.
Thus, the charge enclosed by the cube is $q_{in} = \frac{q}{4} = \frac{\lambda a / 2}{4} = \frac{\lambda a}{8}$.
According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux $\phi$ through the cube is $\phi = \frac{q_{in}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Substituting the value of $q_{in}$, we get $\phi = \frac{\lambda a}{8 \varepsilon_0}$.

(A) The charge $q$ is placed at a distance $a/2$ from the center of the square loop of side $a$.
By symmetry,we can enclose the charge $q$ in a cube of side $a$ such that the square loop forms one of the faces of the cube.
The total electric flux through the entire cube is $\Phi_{total} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Since the cube has $6$ identical faces,the flux through the square loop (which is one face) is $\Phi_{square} = \frac{1}{6} \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
The square loop can be divided into $8$ identical triangular regions by drawing lines from the center to the corners and midpoints of the sides.
Due to symmetry,the flux through each of these $8$ identical triangular regions is equal.
Therefore,the flux through each triangular region is $\Phi_{triangle} = \frac{1}{8} \Phi_{square} = \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{6} \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0} = \frac{1}{48} \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
The shaded region in the figure consists of $5$ such identical triangular regions.
Thus,the flux through the shaded region is $\Phi_{shaded} = 5 \times \Phi_{triangle} = 5 \times \frac{1}{48} \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0} = \frac{5}{48} \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Given $q = 1 \ C$,the flux is $\frac{5}{48} \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Comparing this with $\frac{5}{p} \times \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$,we get $p = 48$.

(A) According to Gauss's Law,the electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$,where $q$ is the enclosed charge and $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
Given:
$\phi = -2 \times 10^4 \ Nm^2 C^{-1}$
$\epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}$
Rearranging the formula to find $q$:
$q = \phi \times \epsilon_0$
$q = (-2 \times 10^4) \times (8.85 \times 10^{-12})$
$q = -17.7 \times 10^{-8} \ C$
Thus,the value of the point charge is $-17.7 \times 10^{-8} \ C$.

(D) The electric field is given by $\vec{E} = (2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k}) \times 10^3 \ N/C$.
Since the surface is parallel to the $x-z$ plane,its area vector $\vec{A}$ must be perpendicular to the $x-z$ plane,which means it is directed along the $y$-axis. Thus,$\vec{A} = A \hat{j}$.
The electric flux $\phi$ is given by the dot product $\phi = \vec{E} \cdot \vec{A}$.
Substituting the values: $\phi = (2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k}) \times 10^3 \cdot (A \hat{j}) = 4 \times 10^3 \times A$.
Given $\phi = 6.0 \ N m^2 C^{-1}$,we have $6.0 = 4 \times 10^3 \times A$.
Solving for $A$: $A = \frac{6.0}{4 \times 10^3} = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2$.
Converting to $cm^2$: $A = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \times (10^2 \ cm)^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^4 \ cm^2 = 15 \ cm^2$.

(D) According to Gauss's Law, the net electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
The wire passes through two maximally displaced corners of the cube, which means it passes along the body diagonal of the cube.
The length of the body diagonal of a cube with side length $a$ is $L = \sqrt{3}a$.
Given $a = \sqrt{3} \ cm = \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-2} \ m$, the length of the wire inside the cube is $L = \sqrt{3} \times (\sqrt{3} \times 10^{-2} \ m) = 3 \times 10^{-2} \ m$.
The charge enclosed by the cube is $q_{enc} = \lambda \cdot L = (2 \times 10^{-9} \ C/m) \times (3 \times 10^{-2} \ m) = 6 \times 10^{-11} \ C$.
Using $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9$, we have $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} = 36 \pi \times 10^9$.
Therefore, the flux $\phi = q_{enc} \cdot \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} = (6 \times 10^{-11}) \times (36 \pi \times 10^9) = 216 \pi \times 10^{-2} = 2.16 \pi \ Nm^2 C^{-1}$.
Thus, $x = 2.16 \pi$.

(D) According to the figure,the wire passes from the center of the top circular face to a point on the circumference of the bottom circular face. The length of the wire segment inside the cylinder $(L)$ forms the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with height $h = 4 \ m$ and base $r = 3 \ m$.
$L = \sqrt{h^2 + r^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \ m$.
The charge enclosed by the cylinder is $q_{\text{enclosed}} = \lambda L = (8.85 \times 10^{-6} \ C/m) \times (5 \ m) = 44.25 \times 10^{-6} \ C$.
According to Gauss's Law,the electric flux $\phi$ is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0}$.
Given $\epsilon_0 \approx 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2/(N-m^2)$.
$\phi = \frac{44.25 \times 10^{-6}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}} = 5 \times 10^6 \ V-m$.

(B) When a point charge '$Q$' is placed inside a hollow conducting sphere,the following principles apply:
$1$. The electric field inside the material of the conductor must be zero in electrostatic equilibrium.
$2$. Electric field lines must originate from the positive charge '$Q$' and terminate perpendicularly on the inner surface of the conducting sphere.
$3$. Due to electrostatic induction,an equal and opposite charge '$-Q$' is induced on the inner surface,and a charge '$+Q$' is induced on the outer surface.
$4$. The electric field lines outside the sphere originate from the outer surface and extend radially outward,perpendicular to the surface.
Comparing these conditions with the given options,the pattern where lines terminate perpendicularly on the inner surface and originate perpendicularly from the outer surface,with no lines inside the conductor material,is the correct representation.

(C) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\frac{q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
To calculate the flux through the cylindrical vessel,we can imagine an identical cylinder placed adjacent to the first one such that the charge $q$ is now enclosed within a larger closed cylindrical surface formed by the two vessels.
The total flux through this combined closed surface is $\Phi_{total} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Since the charge $q$ is placed symmetrically at the center of the common open end,the flux is distributed equally between the two identical cylinders.
Therefore,the flux through the surface of one cylindrical vessel is $\Phi = \frac{\Phi_{total}}{2} = \frac{q}{2 \varepsilon_0}$.

(B) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi_{total}$ through the closed surface of the cylinder is $\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
This total flux is the sum of the flux through the two plane surfaces ($A$ and $C$) and the curved surface $(B)$: $\phi_A + \phi_B + \phi_C = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Due to the symmetry of the cylinder and the central position of the charge,the flux through the two plane surfaces is equal,i.e.,$\phi_A = \phi_C$.
Given that the flux through the curved surface $B$ is $\phi$,we have: $2\phi_A + \phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Solving for $\phi_A$,we get: $\phi_A = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi\right)$.

(B) The electric field exists only in the region between the cylinders $(\sqrt{2}R < r < 2R)$. For $r < \sqrt{2}R$,the field is zero. For $r > 2R$,the field is zero because the outer cylinder is grounded and encloses the inner charge.
Using Gauss's Law for a cylinder of radius $r$ $(\sqrt{2}R < r < 2R)$,the electric field is $E = \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \kappa \epsilon_0 r}$,where $\lambda = Q/\ell$.
The flux through an area element $dS = \ell dy$ on the plane is $d\phi = \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{S} = E \cos \theta \ell dy$.
From the geometry,$r = R \sec \theta$ and $y = R \tan \theta$,so $dy = R \sec^2 \theta d\theta$. Also $\cos \theta = R/r$.
Substituting these,$d\phi = \frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \kappa \epsilon_0 r} \cdot \frac{R}{r} \cdot \ell \cdot R \sec^2 \theta d\theta = \frac{\lambda \ell}{2 \pi \kappa \epsilon_0} d\theta$.
The field is non-zero only for the segments $AB$ and $CD$ where $\sqrt{2}R < r < 2R$.
For $r = \sqrt{2}R$,$\cos \theta = R/(\sqrt{2}R) = 1/\sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \theta = 45^\circ = \pi/4$.
For $r = 2R$,$\cos \theta = R/(2R) = 1/2 \Rightarrow \theta = 60^\circ = \pi/3$.
The flux through one segment is $\phi_{AB} = \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3} \frac{\lambda \ell}{2 \pi \kappa \epsilon_0} d\theta = \frac{Q}{2 \pi \kappa \epsilon_0} (\pi/3 - \pi/4) = \frac{Q}{2 \pi \kappa \epsilon_0} (\pi/12) = \frac{Q}{24 \kappa \epsilon_0}$.
Given $\kappa = 5$,$\phi_{AB} = \frac{Q}{24 \times 5 \epsilon_0} = \frac{Q}{120 \epsilon_0}$.
Total flux through the plane is $\phi_{total} = \phi_{AB} + \phi_{CD} = 2 \times \frac{Q}{120 \epsilon_0} = \frac{Q}{60 \epsilon_0}$.

(C) Electric field lines are imaginary lines used to represent the electric field in a region.
$1$. They originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
$2$. They never intersect each other because if they did,the electric field at the point of intersection would have two directions,which is physically impossible.
$3$. The density of field lines is proportional to the magnitude of the electric field intensity.
$4$. Electric field lines do not pass through the interior of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium because the electric field inside a conductor is zero.
Therefore,the statement that they pass through the conductor is incorrect.

(C) Properties of electric lines of force are as follows:
$1$. Electric lines of force are imaginary lines used to represent the electric field.
$2$. They originate from a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge.
$3$. $A$ tangent drawn at any point on the line of force gives the direction of the electric field at that point.
$4$. Two electric lines of force can never intersect each other because if they did,there would be two directions of the electric field at the point of intersection,which is physically impossible.
$5$. The density of electric lines of force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the electric field intensity. Therefore,where lines are crowded,the field is strong,and where they are sparse,the field is weak.
$6$. There are no electric lines of force inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium.
Thus,statement $C$ is correct.

(D) Electric field lines are imaginary lines representing the electric field.
$1$. They never intersect each other because at the point of intersection,there would be two directions for the electric field,which is impossible.
$2$. They do not pass through the interior of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium because the electric field inside a conductor is zero.
$3$. They originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
$4$. Electric field lines $CAN$ pass through insulators (dielectrics),as insulators do not have free charges to cancel the field.
Therefore,the statement that they do not pass through an insulator is incorrect.

(D) The surface charge density $\sigma = 20 \ \mu C \ m^{-2} = 20 \times 10^{-6} \ C \ m^{-2}$.
The diameter of the sphere $d = 3.5 \ cm$,so the radius $r = 1.75 \ cm = 1.75 \times 10^{-2} \ m$.
The surface area of the sphere $A = 4 \pi r^2 = 4 \times 3.14 \times (1.75 \times 10^{-2})^2 \ m^2$.
$A = 12.56 \times 3.0625 \times 10^{-4} \approx 3.848 \times 10^{-3} \ m^2$.
The total charge $q = \sigma \times A = (20 \times 10^{-6}) \times (3.848 \times 10^{-3}) \approx 7.696 \times 10^{-8} \ C$.
According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi = q / \epsilon_0$.
$\phi = (7.696 \times 10^{-8}) / (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \approx 0.8696 \times 10^4 \approx 8.7 \times 10^3 \ N \cdot m^2 / C$.

(D) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi_{total}$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi_{total} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
For the hollow cylinder,the total flux is the sum of the flux through the two plane surfaces ($A$ and $C$) and the curved surface $(B)$.
Let $\phi_A$,$\phi_C$,and $\phi_B$ be the flux through surfaces $A$,$C$,and $B$ respectively.
Thus,$\phi_A + \phi_C + \phi_B = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Given that $\phi_B = \phi$,we have $\phi_A + \phi_C + \phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Due to the symmetry of the cylinder,the flux through the two plane ends $A$ and $C$ must be equal,so $\phi_A = \phi_C$.
Substituting this into the equation: $2\phi_A + \phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Solving for $\phi_A$: $2\phi_A = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi$.
Therefore,$\phi_A = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi\right)$.

(C) According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux $\phi_{total}$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi_{total} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
For the hollow cylinder, the total flux is the sum of the flux through the two plane surfaces ($A$ and $B$) and the curved surface $(C)$: $\phi_{total} = \phi_A + \phi_B + \phi_C$.
Given that $\phi_C = \phi$ and by symmetry, the flux through the two plane surfaces is equal, i.e., $\phi_A = \phi_B$.
Substituting these into the Gauss's Law equation: $\frac{q}{\epsilon_0} = \phi_A + \phi_A + \phi$.
$\frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi = 2\phi_A$.
Therefore, the flux linked with the plane surface $A$ is $\phi_A = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi\right)$.

(A) According to Gauss's Law,the net electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}$.
Here,the enclosed charges are $q_1 = 2 \mu C, q_2 = -3 \mu C, q_3 = 4 \mu C, q_4 = -4 \mu C$,and $q_5 = -1 \mu C$.
The net enclosed charge $q_{net} = q_1 + q_2 + q_3 + q_4 + q_5$.
$q_{net} = (2 - 3 + 4 - 4 - 1) \mu C = -2 \mu C$.
Therefore,the net outward flux $\phi = \frac{-2 \mu C}{\epsilon_0} = -\frac{2}{\epsilon_0} \mu V-m$.
Note: Since the question asks for the magnitude or the value based on the provided options,and the sum is $-2 \mu C$,there might be a typo in the question's provided options. However,based on the calculation,the net flux is $-\frac{2}{\epsilon_0}$.

(B) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi_{total}$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi_{total} = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}$.
Since the charge $Q$ is placed at the centre of the cube,the flux is distributed equally among all $6$ faces of the cube due to symmetry.
Therefore,the flux through one face is $\phi_{face} = \frac{1}{6} \phi_{total} = \frac{Q}{6 \epsilon_0}$.
The question asks for the flux through two opposite faces.
Thus,the flux through two opposite faces is $2 \times \phi_{face} = 2 \times \frac{Q}{6 \epsilon_0} = \frac{Q}{3 \epsilon_0}$.

(C) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\Phi_E$ through any closed surface is given by $\Phi_E = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}$,where $q_{enclosed}$ is the total charge enclosed by the surface and $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
In this problem,the charge $q$ is distributed on the surface of the balloon. As the balloon is blown up,the total charge $q$ enclosed by the surface remains constant.
Since the enclosed charge $q$ does not change,the total electric flux $\Phi_E = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$ also remains constant.
Therefore,the electric flux remains unchanged.

(C) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi_E$ through any closed surface is equal to the net charge $q_{enclosed}$ enclosed by the surface divided by the permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0$.
Mathematically,$\phi_E = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}$.
In all four figures $(a)$,$(b)$,$(c)$,and $(d)$,the charge enclosed by the surface is the same,which is $+q$.
Since the enclosed charge is identical for all surfaces and $\epsilon_0$ is a constant,the electric flux $\phi_E$ through each surface must be equal.
Therefore,the electric flux is the same for all the figures.

(D) The total electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by Gauss's Law: $\phi = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Since the charge is uniformly distributed on the surface,$q = \sigma \times A$,where $A = 4 \pi r^2$ is the surface area of the sphere.
Given: diameter $d = 14 \ cm$,so radius $r = 7 \ cm = 7 \times 10^{-2} \ m$.
Surface charge density $\sigma = 40 \ \mu C/m^2 = 40 \times 10^{-6} \ C/m^2$.
Substituting these values:
$\phi = \frac{4 \pi r^2 \sigma}{\varepsilon_0}$
$\phi = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times (7 \times 10^{-2})^2 \times 40 \times 10^{-6}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$
$\phi = \frac{4 \times 3.14 \times 49 \times 10^{-4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$
$\phi = \frac{2461.76 \times 10^{-10}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$
$\phi \approx 278.16 \times 10^2 = 2.78 \times 10^4 \ V \cdot m$ (or $280 \ kV \cdot m$ approximately).
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

(D) According to Gauss's law,the net electric flux $\phi_{net}$ through a closed surface is equal to the total charge $q$ enclosed by the surface divided by the permittivity of free space $\varepsilon_0$.
$\phi_{net} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$
Here,the flux entering the surface is $\phi_1$ (which is negative) and the flux leaving the surface is $\phi_2$ (which is positive).
Therefore,the net flux is $\phi_{net} = \phi_2 - \phi_1$.
Substituting this into Gauss's law:
$\phi_2 - \phi_1 = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$
$q = \varepsilon_0(\phi_2 - \phi_1)$.

(D) According to Gauss's law,the total electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Here,$q_{enclosed}$ is the total charge enclosed by the surface.
When the balloon is blown up,its size increases,but the total charge $q$ on the surface of the balloon remains constant.
Since the charge enclosed by the surface does not change,the total electric flux $\phi$ passing through the surface remains unchanged.

(C) The total normal electric induction ($T$.$N$.$E$.$I$.) through a closed surface is equal to the algebraic sum of the charges enclosed by that surface.
$\text{T.N.E.I.} = \sum q_{\text{enclosed}}$
For surface $A$,the enclosed charges are $+2q$ and $-q$.
$\text{T.N.E.I. for } A = (+2q) + (-q) = +q$
For surface $B$,the enclosed charges are $+3q$ and $-q$.
$\text{T.N.E.I. for } B = (+3q) + (-q) = +2q$
Therefore,the $T$.$N$.$E$.$I$. through surfaces $A$ and $B$ are $+q$ and $+2q$ respectively.

(D) According to Gauss's Law, the net electric flux $\Phi_{net}$ through a closed surface is equal to the total enclosed charge $q_{in}$ divided by the permittivity of free space $\varepsilon_0$.
$\Phi_{net} = \frac{q_{in}}{\varepsilon_0}$
Here, the flux entering the surface is $\phi_1$ (taken as negative) and the flux leaving the surface is $\phi_2$ (taken as positive).
Therefore, the net flux is $\Phi_{net} = \phi_2 - \phi_1$.
Substituting this into Gauss's Law:
$\phi_2 - \phi_1 = \frac{q_{in}}{\varepsilon_0}$
$q_{in} = \varepsilon_0(\phi_2 - \phi_1)$.
Hence, option $D$ is the correct answer.

(C) According to Gauss's law,the total electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Here,$q_{enclosed}$ is the net charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface.
Since the charge $q$ remains unchanged and the permittivity of free space $\varepsilon_0$ is a constant,the electric flux $\phi$ depends only on the enclosed charge.
Therefore,changing the radius of the sphere does not affect the total electric flux passing through it.
Thus,the new flux remains $\phi$.

(A) According to Gauss's law,the total electric flux through a closed surface is given by $\phi_{total} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
For the hollow cylinder,the total flux is the sum of the flux through the two plane surfaces ($A$ and $C$) and the curved surface $(B)$: $\phi_A + \phi_C + \phi_B = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Due to the symmetry of the cylinder,the electric flux passing through the two plane surfaces $A$ and $C$ is equal,i.e.,$\phi_A = \phi_C$.
Given that the flux through the curved surface $B$ is $\phi_B = \phi$,we substitute this into the equation:
$2\phi_A + \phi = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Rearranging the equation to solve for $\phi_A$:
$2\phi_A = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0} - \phi$.
$\phi_A = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0} - \phi\right)$.

(C) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi_{T}$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi_{T} = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$,where $q$ is the net charge enclosed by the surface.
For the given hollow cylinder,the total flux is the sum of the flux through the two plane surfaces ($A$ and $C$) and the curved surface $(B)$.
Let $\phi_A$,$\phi_B$,and $\phi_C$ be the fluxes through surfaces $A$,$B$,and $C$ respectively.
Given $\phi_B = \phi$. Due to the symmetry of the cylinder,the flux through the two plane ends must be equal,i.e.,$\phi_A = \phi_C$.
Therefore,$\phi_A + \phi_B + \phi_C = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Substituting the values,we get $2\phi_A + \phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$.
Solving for $\phi_A$,we get $2\phi_A = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi$,which implies $\phi_A = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{q}{\epsilon_0} - \phi\right)$.

(A) According to Gauss's Law,the electric flux $\phi$ linked with a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_0}$.
From the figure,the charges enclosed by the closed surface are $2.35 \ C$,$5 \ C$,$2 \ C$,and $-0.5 \ C$.
The total charge $q_{enclosed} = (2.35 + 5 + 2 - 0.5) \ C = 8.85 \ C$.
Given $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}$.
Substituting the values,we get $\phi = \frac{8.85 \ C}{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}} = 10^{12} \ N m^2 C^{-1}$.

(A) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi_{total}$ through a closed surface enclosing a charge $Q$ is given by $\phi_{total} = \frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}$.
Since the charge is placed at the center of the cube,the flux is distributed equally among all $6$ faces due to symmetry.
Therefore,the flux through one face is $\phi_{one} = \frac{\phi_{total}}{6} = \frac{Q}{6 \varepsilon_0}$.
The flux through two opposite faces is the sum of the flux through each of these two faces,which is $\phi_{two} = 2 \times \phi_{one} = 2 \times \frac{Q}{6 \varepsilon_0} = \frac{Q}{3 \varepsilon_0}$.

(C) According to Gauss's law,the electric flux $\phi$ through any closed surface is given by the formula:
$\phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\varepsilon_0}$
Here,$Q_{\text{enclosed}}$ is the total charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface and $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
From this expression,it is clear that the electric flux depends only on the magnitude of the charge enclosed within the surface.
It does not depend on the shape or the size (radius $R$) of the Gaussian surface.
Therefore,if the radius of the Gaussian surface is doubled,the enclosed charge $Q$ remains the same,and consequently,the outward electric flux will remain the same.

(A) According to Gauss's Law,the electric flux $\Phi_E$ through a closed surface is given by $\Phi_E = \frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}$.
Here,$q_{enclosed}$ is the total charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface and $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
Since the point charge $q$ remains the same regardless of the radius of the spherical Gaussian surface,the enclosed charge $q_{enclosed} = q$ remains constant.
Therefore,the electric flux $\Phi_E = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$ remains unchanged when the radius of the surface is increased.

(B) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0}$.
Here,$q_{\text{enclosed}}$ is the total charge enclosed by the spherical balloon.
When the balloon is inflated,its radius increases,but the total charge $q$ on its surface remains constant.
Since the enclosed charge $q$ does not change,the total electric flux $\phi$ passing through the surface remains unchanged.

(B) According to Gauss's Law,the total electric flux $\phi$ through a closed surface is given by $\phi = \frac{q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}$,where $q_{enc}$ is the total charge enclosed by the surface and $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.
Since the electric flux depends only on the charge enclosed by the surface and not on the size or shape of the Gaussian surface,increasing the radius of the spherical Gaussian surface does not change the amount of charge enclosed.
Therefore,the electric flux remains unchanged.
