To determine whether the statement "The number of field lines entering the surface equals the number of field lines leaving the surface" is correct when the net flux through a Gaussian surface is zero, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electric Flux**: - Electric flux (Φ) through a surface is defined as the product of the electric field (E) and the area (A) through which it passes, taking into account the angle (θ) between the field lines and the normal to the surface. Mathematically, it is given by: \[ Φ = \int \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{A} ...

An imaginary closed surface P is constructed around a neutral conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch as shown in figure. As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface P is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface :
