a charge of 1 C what is located at the centre of a sphere of radius 10 centimetres and square of side 20 centimetre. The ratio of outgoing flux from the shpere and cube will be

1) more than one

2) less than 1

3) one

4)nothing certain can be said

As the charge 1 C is enclosed by the sphere, so from Gauss law the total electric flux passing through the sphere,
ϕ1=q0=10
As this 1 C charge is enclosed by the cube also, so from Gauss law the total electric flux passing through the cube,
ϕ2=q0=10
Therefore, the ratio of the outgoing flux from the sphere and the cube,
ϕ1ϕ2=1010=1
