PHY 102 Gauss's Law and Electrostatic Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What is the electric flux through a closed surface that encloses no net charge?
Options
A Zero
Correct Answer
B Infinite
C Depends on the shape
D Depends on the size
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Gauss's law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed. If Q_enc = 0, then flux = 0.

Hint

No enclosed charge → zero flux.
