A sphere S_{1} of radius R_{1} encloses a charge \mathbf{Q} . If there is another concentric sphere S_{2} of radius R_{2}\left(R_{2}>R_{1}\right) and there is no additional change between S_{1} and s_{2}, then find the ratio of electric flux through s_{1} and s_{2}. \underline{S}_{2}

Ans: We may recall that the expression for electric flux through a surface enclosing charge q by Gauss’s law is given by,

    \[\phi=\frac{q}{E_{0}}\]

Where, \varepsilon_{0} is the permittivity of the medium.
Now the electric flux through sphere S_{1} is given by,

    \[\phi_{3_{1}}=\frac{Q}{e_{0}} \ldots \ldots(1)\]

Since there is no additional charge between the given two spheres, the flux through sphere {S}_{2} is given by,
\phi_{s_{1}}=\frac{Q}{E_{0}} \ldots \ldots(2)
We could now get the ratio of flux through spheres 5, and 5_{2},

    \[\begin{array}{l} \frac{\phi_{s_{1}}}{\phi_{s_{r_{2}}}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\varepsilon_{\mathrm{D}}}}{\mathrm{Q}} \\ \therefore \frac{\phi_{\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{S}}}}{\phi_{\mathrm{s}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{1} \end{array}\]

Therefore, we find the required ratio to be 1: 1.
