A Spherical Gaussian surface of radius 6.0 cm centered at the origin where should you place a charge Q in order to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through this Gaussian surface?
1.) x = 3 cm, y = z = 0
2.) x = z = 0, y = 3 cm
3.) x = y = 0, z = 3 cm
4.) Anywhere inside the surface.
5.) Origin

explain, please

Answer 1

According to the definition of Gauss law

where flux, is charge enclosed by the gaussian surface. It does not matter where Q is placed inside the Gaussian surface the flux remains the same. Therefore, you can place the charge anywhere inside the gaussian surface.

So (4) is the correct answer.

Please provide positive feedback.
