MCQ
What is the net magnetic flux through a closed surface?
  • A
    Positive
  • B
    Negative
  • Zero
  • D
    Depends on the nature of the surface

Answer

Correct option: C.
Zero
Gauss’s law indicates that there are no sources or sinks of the magnetic field inside a closed surface. A “closed surface” is a surface that completely encloses a volume with no holes. Therefore, the net magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero.
