Question

Part A Which of the following statements about Gauss's law are correct? CThere may be more than one correct choice.) Choose all that apply D if a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface. Gauss's law is valid only for symmetric charge distributions, such as spheres and cylinders. Only charge enclosed within a Gaussian surface can produce an electric field at points on that surface. The electric flux passing through a Gaussian surface depends only on the amount of charge inside that surface, lf there is no charge inside of a Gaussian surface, the electric field must be zero at points of that surface. not on its size or shap de Feedback

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER

Statement 1. True, since there is no charge is not inside the conductor.

Statement 2. True, Gauss's (integral) law relates the flux integral of the electric field to the charge contained within a surface. Because we do not know the electric field, Gauss's law is only useful when we can remove the electric field from within the integral, which happens when the charge distribution displays certain spatial symmetries (spherical, cylindrical, planar).

Statement 3. True, charge enclosed within gaussian surface produce electric field at points on the surface.

Statement 4. True, flux only depend on charge enclosed within gausian surface not on shape and size.

Statement 5. True, chage enclosed is zero means field is zero.

I will be glad to see your comment if you have any query and thumb up if you are satisfied. Thanks..
