Question
Gauss's law can be applied to the following except
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Gauss's law is used to find the field of highly symmetric charge distributions, to locate excess charge on conductors, and to find the field just outside a charged conductor. It is not itself 'applied to' Coulomb's law - rather, Coulomb's law can be derived FROM Gauss's law for a point charge, so 'the Coulomb's law' is the odd one out here.
