Question

A capacitor of capacitance C is connected to a cell of emf V and when fully charged, it is disconnected. Now the separation between the plates is doubled. The change in flux of electric field through a closed surface enclosing the capacitor is

  1. Zero    
  2. fraction numerator C V over denominator epsilon subscript 0 end subscript end fraction    
  3. fraction numerator C V over denominator 2 epsilon subscript 0 end subscript end fraction    
  4. fraction numerator 2 C V over denominator epsilon subscript 0 end subscript end fraction    

The correct answer is: Zero


    Flux = fraction numerator q subscript i n end subscript over denominator epsilon subscript 0 end subscript end fraction
    The two plates of the capacitor have equal and opposite charges.
    Hence, net charge enclosed by the given surface = 0
    therefore Flux is zero in both cases.
    Hence change in flux = 0
