Q. A capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential $V$ . The flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the capacitor is

Solution:

As the net charge on a capacitor including both the plates is zero.
Therefore from Gauss's law, the flux of the electric field through a closed surface enclosing the capacitor is zero.
