Question

A array of point charges and a set of closed Gaussian surfaces (represented by closed curves - S1 , S2 , S3 and S4) are illustrated in the figure.


ϕS1,ϕS2,ϕS3andϕS4 are the electric flux linked with the Gaussian surfaces S1, S2 , S3 and S4 respectively. Choose the correct option.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The statement given in question statement is incomplete as it does not give any diagram or figure based on which the correct option has to be selected.

In general, a Gaussian surface is one which is a closed surface usually a 3 D plane which is used to calculate the flux of any vector quantity. Normally these vector quantities are gravitational field, the electric field, or magnetic field
