When is electric flux said to be positive,negative,or zero?

  • A
    Positive when flux enters the surface,negative when it leaves,zero when net flux is zero.
  • B
    Positive when flux leaves the surface,negative when it enters,zero when net flux is zero.
  • C
    Positive when flux is parallel to the surface,negative when perpendicular,zero when at an angle.
  • D
    Positive when the surface is closed,negative when open,zero when the surface is infinite.

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ carries surface charge density $\sigma(r) = \sigma_0 \left(1 - \frac{r}{R}\right)$,where $\sigma_0$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance from the center of the disc. Electric flux through a large spherical surface that encloses the charged disc completely is $\phi_0$. Electric flux through another spherical surface of radius $\frac{R}{4}$ and concentric with the disc is $\phi$. Then the ratio $\frac{\phi_0}{\phi}$ is:
