17. Two spheres of different diameters surround equal charges. Three students are discussingthe situation.ВStudent 1: The flux through spheres A and B are equal because they enclose equal charges.Student 2: But the electric field on sphere B is weaker than the electric field on sphere A. Theflux depends on the electric field strength, so the flux through A is larger than the flux through B.Student 3: I thought we learned that flux was about surface area. Sphere B is larger thansphere A, so I think the flux through B is larger than the flux through A.Which of these students, if any, do you agree with? Explain.
