Gauss's Law in Electrostatics Quiz

The net outward or inward electric flux through a closed surface depends on the sign of the enclosed charge.

Charges outside the surface do not give a net electric flux through the surface.

The net electric flux is directly proportional to the net amount of charge enclosed within the surface.
