Questions and Answers

What does Gauss's law permit the assessment of?

  • The amount of enclosed charge by mapping the field inside the charge distribution.
  • The amount of enclosed charge by mapping the field on a surface outside the charge distribution. (correct)
  • The total electric flux outside any open surface.
  • The net charge outside any closed surface.

What does Gauss's law state?

  • The total electric flux through any closed surface is inversely proportional to the net charge enclosed in the surface.
  • The total electric flux through any open surface is equal to the net charge enclosed in the surface divided by the permittivity.
  • The total electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed in the surface divided by the permittivity. (correct)
  • The total electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed in the surface multiplied by the permittivity.
