MCQ
If the net electric flux through a closed surface is zero, then we can infer:
  • A
    No net charge is enclosed by the surface.
  • B
    Uniform electric field exists within the surface.
  • C
    Electric potential varies from point to point inside the surface.
  • D
    Charge is present inside the surface.

Answer

  1. No net charge is enclosed by the surface.

Explanation:

  • Net electric flux is highly dependent on the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.
  • In a closed surface, if the net electric flux is zero, then the net electric charge will be also zero.
  • Since electric flux is defined as the rate of flow of electric field in a closed area and if the electric flux is zero, the overall electric charge within the closed boundary will be also zero.
