Two co-axial conducting cylinders of same length $\ell$ with radii $\sqrt{2} R$ and $2 R$ are kept,as shown in Fig. $1$. The charge on the inner cylinder is $Q$ and the outer cylinder is grounded. The annular region between the cylinders is filled with a material of dielectric constant $\kappa=5$. Consider an imaginary plane of the same length $\ell$ at a distance $R$ from the common axis of the cylinders. This plane is parallel to the axis of the cylinders. The cross-sectional view of this arrangement is shown in Fig. $2$. Ignoring edge effects,the flux of the electric field through the plane is ($\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space):

An electric field is uniform,and in the positive $x$ direction for positive $x,$ and uniform with the same magnitude but in the negative $x$ direction for negative $x$. It is given that $E = 200 \hat{i} \; N/C$ for $x > 0$ and $E = -200 \hat{i} \; N/C$ for $x < 0$. $A$ right circular cylinder of length $20 \; cm$ and radius $5 \; cm$ has its centre at the origin and its axis along the $x$-axis so that one face is at $x = +10 \; cm$ and the other is at $x = -10 \; cm$.
$(a)$ What is the net outward flux through each flat face?
$(b)$ What is the flux through the side of the cylinder?
$(c)$ What is the net outward flux through the cylinder?
$(d)$ What is the net charge inside the cylinder?

Out of the following statements,which is $NOT$ a characteristic of electric lines of force?

Choose the incorrect statement:
$(a)$ The electric lines of force entering into a Gaussian surface provide negative flux.
$(b)$ $A$ charge '$q$' is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux through all the faces will be the same.
$(c)$ In a uniform electric field,the net flux through a closed Gaussian surface containing no net charge is zero.
$(d)$ When the electric field is parallel to a Gaussian surface,it provides a finite non-zero flux.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
