- When there is no charge enclosed by the surface (correct)
- When there is a negative charge enclosed by the surface
What does Gauss's law state?
What does Gauss's law state?
- The total electric flux through a closed surface is unrelated to the total charge enclosed by the surface
- The total electric flux through a closed surface is inversely proportional to the total charge enclosed by the surface
- The total electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed by the surface (correct)
- The total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by the surface
