Question

If net flux through a Gaussian surface is zero, then find whether the following statement is correct or not.
the electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor and has a magnitude of $\sigma /2{\epsilon }_0$, where $\sigma$ is the charge per unit area at that point.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Where $\sigma q$ is the charge per unit area. For net flux to be zero both flux must balance.
