Gauss's Law: Consider a Spherical Gaussian Surface of Radius R

Question 24

Multiple Choice

Gauss's law: Consider a spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin. A charge Q is placed inside the sphere. To maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface, the charge should be located


A) at x = 0, y = 0, z = R/2.
B) at the origin.
C) at x = R/2, y = 0, z = 0.
D) at x = 0, y = R/2, z = 0.
E) The charge can be located anywhere, since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere.
