Q17 · Physics

If ∮sE⃗⋅dS⃗=0\oint_s \vec{E}\cdot\vec{dS}=0 over a surface, then :

  1. 1the electric field inside the surface is necessarily uniform.
  2. 2the number of flux lines entering the surface must be equal to the number of flux lines leaving it.Official answer
  3. 3the magnitude of electric field on the surface is constant.
  4. 4all the charges must necessarily be inside the surface.

Official answer: option 2 · NTA final answer key
