Question

What are the properties of gaussian surface?

Answer 1

GAUSSIAN SURFACE :

The properties of Gaussian Surface is described below in points :

1) The surface which is considered as Gaussian should pass through the areas in which we will determine the Electric Field.

2) Also, the Gaussian surface should be closed.

3) The surface must not be shapeless rather it should have any kind of shapes.

4) The Gaussian surface should be prevented to pass through the discontinuous charges.

5) The value of electric flux should be same at any points of the Gaussian surface.
