Question

Electric flux at a point in an electric field is

• A. positive
• B. negative
• C. zero
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

zero

Answer 2

The correct answer is Option C) zero

As the area of a point is zero, $\therefore \, \phi =E (ds) \cos \theta = E \cos \theta \times 0$ = Zero

Electric fluxis ∮E⋅da (where da refers to the area element). As we know, the point area is zero

Therefore, the flux associated with a point is zero
