Assertion : Total flux through a closed ...

Assertion : Total flux through a closed surface is zero if no charge is enclosed by the surface.
Reason : Gauss law is true for any closed surface, no matter what its shape or size is.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Gauss law implies that the total electric flux through a closed surface is zero is no charge is enclosed by the surface and it is true for any closed surface, independent of its shape and size.
