Question

A student has made the statement that the electric flux through one half of a Gaussian surface is always equal and opposite to the flux through the other half of the Gaussian surface. This is Question 37 options:

1) never true.

2) never false.

3) true whenever enclosed charge is symmetrically located at a center point, or on a center line or centrally placed plane.

4) true whenever no charge is enclosed within the Gaussian surface.

5) true only when no charge is enclosed within the Gaussian surface, and then only for a limited set of surfaces or fields.

Explanation / Answer

4) true whenever no charge is enclosed within the Gaussian surface.
