Question

State whether the given statement is True or False :

Gauss's law implies that the total electric flux through a closed surface is zero if no charge is enclosed by the surface.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

By Gauss's law electric flux through a closed surface is given by , $\varphi =\frac{Q_{en}}{{ϵ}_0}$ where $Q_{en}$ is the charge enclosed by the closed surface.

When no charge is enclosed by the surface means $Q_{en}=0$

Thus, $\varphi =0$

Hence the given statement will be correct.
