Question

According to Gauss's theorem, the total outward normal flux over a closed surface is equal to

• A. the positive charge enclosed within the surface
• B. $1 / \varepsilon_{0}$ times the net charge outside the surface
• C. $1 / \varepsilon_{0}$ times the total charge enclosed within the surface
• D. the charge density on the surface.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

According to Gauss's theorem, the total outward normal flux over a closed pipe is equal to $1 / \varepsilon_{0}$ times the total charge enclosed within the surface.
