Solution

The correct option is D
1 is false 2 is false

Electric flux is not the flow-rate of anything it is just a measure of field lines crossing a surface and field lines are just some mathematical curves produced such that tangent at each point of the curve gives the direction of Electric field at that point.

As Electric field of a point charge at rest does not charge with time, it is a time – independent field.

Comment on the correctness of the following two statements

Statement I => The electrical field calculated by Gauss’s law is the field only due to the charges inside the Gaussian surface.

Statement II => The flux of the electric field through a closed surface due to all the charges (inside and outside the surface), is equal to the flux only due to the charges enclosed by the surface.
