q_(1),q_(2),q_(3) and q_(4) are point charges located at point as shown in the figure and s is a spherical Gaussian surface of radius R . Which of the following is true according to the Gauss's law

A spherical Gaussian surface surrounds a point charge q. If the charge is moved to another location inside the surface? Then total flux_____________

Assertion(A):If Gaussian surface does not enclose any charge then vec(E) at any point on the Gaussian surface must be zero. Assertion(R ):No net charge is enclosed by Gaussians surface,so net flux passing through the surface is zero.

If net flux through a Gaussian surface is zero, then find whether the following statements are correct or not. The net charge inside the surface is zero.

Which of the following is true for electric flux through a Gaussian surface ?

A Gaussian surface encloses a proton p. The electric field at any point on the surface is vec€ . The flux linked with the Gaussian surface is phi . STATEMENT-1 : When an electron is kept close to this system outside the Gaussian surface, the flux linked with the surface would change. and STATEMENT-2 : The presence of electron will alterthe electric field on the gaussian surface.

Statement-1: Suppose that a Gaussian surface enclose no net charge. Gauss law requires that electric field equals zero for all points on the surface. Statement-2: If electric field equals zero everywhere on the surface, Gauss law requires that there be no net charge inside.

Gauss's law and Coulomb's law , although expressed in different forms , are equivalent ways of describing the relation between charge and electric field in static conditions . Gauss's law is epsilon_(0) phi = q_(encl) ,when q(encl) is the net charge inside an imaginary closed surface called Gaussian surface. The two equations hold only when the net charge is in vaccum or air . A Gaussian surface encloses two of the four positively charged particles. The particles that contribute to the electric field at a point P on the surface are

A point charge produces an electric flux of -1xx10^(3)Nm^(2)//C to pass through a spherical gaussian surface of radius 10 cm cenred on the charge. What is the value of the point charge?

Which of the following is true for electric-flux through a Gaussian surface ?
