Electrostatics

Question 101: easy

According to Gauss law of electrostatics, electric flux through a closed surface depends on

1. The shape of the surface
2. The volume enclosed by the surface
3. The area of the surface
4. The quantity of charges enclosed by the surface
View Answer

Gauss's law states that the net electric flux \(\phi\) through any closed surface is equal to \(1/varepsilon_0\) times the net charge enclosed by the surface (\(\phi = q_{\text{enclosed}}/\varepsilon_0\)), independent of the shape, area, or volume of the surface.
