Question

select all the statements that are true about gauss Select all the statements that are TRUE about Gauss' Law. A Gaussian surface is a virtual surface used only for calculations. The charge qenc must be all the charge lying on the Gaussian surface. The charge qenc must be all the charge lying within the Gaussian surface. Gauss' Law calculates the electric field only at the location of the Gaussian surface. The charge qenc must be all the charge in the problem. The area vectors on the Gaussian surface must all be in the same direction as the electric field on the surface. If the net flux through a Gaussian surface is zero it is certain there are no charges enclosed within the Gaussian surface. A Gaussian surface must be a conductor. Gauss's law holds only for symmetric charge distributions. The electric field E in the integral is due only to the charge qenc A Gaussian surface must be a closed surface (must cover a volume).

Explanation / Answer

All the statements that are marked blue are correct about Gauss.

And all the statements that are not marked are false.

By Gauss law, integral E.dA = qenc /eo
