Problem

Charges q1q_1 and q2q_2 lie inside and outside, respectively, a closed surface SS. Let E\mathbf{E} be the electric field at any point on SS and let Φ\Phi be the flux of E\mathbf{E} over SS. (a) If q1q_1 changes, both E\mathbf{E} and Φ\Phi will change. (b) If q2q_2 changes, E\mathbf{E} will change but Φ\Phi will not change. (c) If q1=0q_1=0 and q2≠0q_2\ne0, then E≠0\mathbf{E}\ne0 but Φ=0\Phi=0. (d) If q1≠0q_1\ne0 and q2=0q_2=0, then E=0\mathbf{E}=0 but Φ≠0\Phi\ne0.
