Question

Which of the following is TRUE of the application of Gauss's law?
Options
A For spherical charge distribution, the Gaussian surface is a sphere
B is the weak one, since a flat plane is not a CLOSED surface - option (c) is the correct pillbox version.)
C For charge distributions with the symmetry of an infinite uniform plane, the Gaussian surface is a coin-shaped flat cylinder
D All of the above
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The recorded key is 'All of the above'. The physically standard choices are: sphere -> spherical Gaussian surface; infinite plane sheet -> a coin/pillbox-shaped cylinder piercing the sheet; line charge -> coaxial cylinder. (Strictly, option (b) is the weak one, since a flat plane is not a CLOSED surface - option (c) is the correct pillbox version.)

Hint

The recorded key is 'All of the above'.
