point m is halfway between o and o1. o and o1 are on peripherry of ring and sphere respectively.. they are like in a strt line.. the sphere and the ring are symmetrical and o and o1 lie on the diameter..

the flux in the sphere.. i'm sorry.. wanted to write something else. just messed up..

anonymous · Answer

is it a metal sphere? because if it is, the flux through it is zero...

yrelhan4 · Answer

i dont think it is.. the answer is not zero.. so its not..

anonymous · Answer

but still, the charge is outside the sphere, isn't it? so q(enclosed)=0. And therefore, the flux though the sphere is zero.

yrelhan4 · Answer

no it isnt outside the sphere.. its at M..

anonymous · Answer

yeah....i'm not getting the picture here...
