Consider a Spherical Gaussian Surface of Radius R Centered at the Origin

question 37

Multiple Choice

Consider a spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin. A charge Q is placed inside the sphere. Where should the charge be located to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface?

• A)at x = 0, y = 0, z = R/2
• B)at the origin
• C)at x = R/2, y = 0, z = 0
• D)at x = 0, y = R/2, z = 0
• E)The flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere
