When electric flux passes through any surface, then all of the following are the factors on which it depends EXCEPT the
Correct answer: D. direction of the surface relative to the electric field
- A. area of the surface.
- B. nature of the surface
- C. intensity of the electric field
- D. direction of the surface relative to the electric field
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: direction of the surface relative to the electric field. Electric flux passing through a surface depends on factors such as the area of the surface, the nature of the surface, and the intensity of the electric field. However, the direction of the surface relative to the electric field does not affect the electric flux, as electric flux is a scalar quantity and is not dependent on the orientation of the surface. Options A, B, and C are factors that can influence the electric flux passing through a surface.

About Electric Field
An electric field is the force experienced per unit positive test charge, with the field of a point charge given by E = kQ/r² and directed away from positive charges or toward negative charges. Questions involve field lines, superposition and force on a charge, while electric field must be distinguished from electric potential.
