MCQ
Mark the correct options:
  • A
    Gauss's law is valid only for symmetrical charge distributions.
  • B
    Gauss's law is valid only for charges placed in vacuum.
  • C
    The electric field calculated by Gauss's law is the field due to the charges inside the Gaussian surface.
  • The flux of the electric field through a closed surface due to all the charges is equal to the flux due to the charges enclosed by the surface.

Answer

Correct option: D.
The flux of the electric field through a closed surface due to all the charges is equal to the flux due to the charges enclosed by the surface.

The flux of the electric field through a closed surface due to all the charges is equal to the flux due to the charges enclosed by the surface.
