Question 11 Mark
If flux of the electric field through a closed surface is zero:
- The electric field must be zero everywhere on the surface.
- The electric field may be zero everywhere in the surface.
- The charge inside the surface must be zero.
- The charge in the vicinity of the surface must be zero.
Answer
$\phi=\frac{\text{q}_{\text{inside}}}{\epsilon_0}=\int{\text{E}}.\text{d}{\text{S}}$
If the flux of the electric field through a closed surface is zero mean the net charge inside the surface must be zero or the electric field may be zero every where on the surface.
