Statement-1: Two point charges +Q+Q and −Q-Q are fixed at point A(+a,0,0)A(+a, 0,0) and point B(−a,0,0)B(-a, 0,0) respectively. Then the magnitude of electric flux due to electric field of either point charge through infinite y−zy-z plane (that is x=0x=0 plane) is less than magnitude of net electric flux due to electric field of both charges through that plane (x=0x=0 plane).
Statement-2: The magnitude of net electric flux through a surface due to a system of point charges is equal to sum of magnitude of electric flux through that surface due to each of the point charge of the system.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false
Option C is correct because Statement-1 is true (flux due to individual charges is less than the net flux), but Statement-2 is false (flux is a vector quantity, so magnitudes don't simply add).
