To solve the question, we will analyze the two parts separately: ### Part 1: If the total charge enclosed by a surface is zero, does it imply that the electric field everywhere on the surface is zero? 1. **Understanding Gauss's Law**: According to Gauss's Law, the electric flux (Φ) through a closed surface is proportional to the charge (Q) enclosed within that surface. Mathematically, it is given by: \[ \Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\epsilon_0} \] ...
