Question

What is the core statement of Gauss's Law as presented in the document?
Options
A The electric force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
B The electric flux out of any closed surface is proportional to the net charge it encloses.
Correct Answer
C The work done in moving a charge in an electrostatic field is path-dependent.
D The electric field inside a conductor at equilibrium is always uniform.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

On page 13, Gauss's law is stated as: 'Gauss' law states that the electric flux out of any closed surface is equal to the net charge it encloses, is proportional to the net charge it encloses.'

Hint

Gauss's Law relates electric flux to enclosed charge.
