Gauss’s law states that

A
the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge placed near the closed surface.
✓
the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge enclosed by the closed surface.
C
the total electric flux through an open surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge placed near the open surface.
D
the line integral of electric field around the boundary of an open surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge placed near the open surface.

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge enclosed by the closed surface.

b
Gauss's law is applicable only for closed surface and for the charge placed inside it not near it.

Total electric flux, $\phi_{ z }=\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} Q$
