Question

Which of the following statements are correct?
  1. Electric field calculated by Gauss law is the field due to only those charges which are enclosed inside the Gaussian surface
  2. Gauss law is applicable only when there is a symmetrical distribution of charge
  3. Electric flux through a closed surface will depends only on charges enclosed within that surface only
  4. None of these

A
Electric field calculated by Gauss law is the field due to only those charges which are enclosed inside the Gaussian surface
B
Gauss law is applicable only when there is a symmetrical distribution of charge
C
None of these
D
Electric flux through a closed surface will depends only on charges enclosed within that surface only
Solution
Verified by Toppr

According to Gauss's law, (ϕ=Qenϵ0) the electric flux only depends on the charge enclosed by the surface. Gauss's law is applicable on any other distribution of charges but it is applicable only for symmetrical structure of the body.

Q2

Comment on the correctness of the following two statements

Statement I => The electrical field calculated by Gauss’s law is the field only due to the charges inside the Gaussian surface.

Statement II => The flux of the electric field through a closed surface due to all the charges (inside and outside the surface), is equal to the flux only due to the charges enclosed by the surface.
