A Gaussian surface in the fig. is shown by dotted line. The electric field on the surface will be :-

A

due to `q_1` and `q_2` only

B

due to `q_2` only

C

zero

D

due to all

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We should know that electric field intensity on the Gaussian surface is taken due to all the charges, inside or outside the closed surfacc. But surface integral of electric field over the three-dimensional closed surface depends only on the enclosed charges.
