Q. Figure below shows a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charge is placed at the point P, the flux of the electric field through the closed surfacePhysics Question Image

Electric Charges and Fields

Solution:

The positive & negative charges developed on different parts of conducting sphare due to induction. Hence the flux through the closed surface is positive.
