Choose the incorrect statement:
$(a)$ The electric lines of force entering into a Gaussian surface provide negative flux.
$(b)$ $A$ charge '$q$' is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux through all the faces will be the same.
$(c)$ In a uniform electric field,the net flux through a closed Gaussian surface containing no net charge is zero.
$(d)$ When the electric field is parallel to a Gaussian surface,it provides a finite non-zero flux.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $(c)$ and $(d)$ only
  • B
    $(b)$ and $(d)$ only
  • C
    $(d)$ only

An infinite line charge is at the axis of a cylinder of length $1 \,m$ and radius $7 \,cm$. If the electric field at any point on the curved surface of the cylinder is $250 \,NC^{-1}$,then the net electric flux through the cylinder is ............ $Nm^2C^{-1}$.

What is the electric flux for Gaussian surface $A$ that encloses the charged particles in free space? [Given: $q_1 = -14 \text{ nC}, q_2 = 78.85 \text{ nC}, q_3 = -56 \text{ nC}$]

$A$ charge of $20 \ \mu C$ is placed inside a closed surface. If an additional charge of $80 \ \mu C$ is placed inside the surface,the change in flux is:

An infinitely long thin non-conducting wire is parallel to the $z$-axis and carries a uniform line charge density $\lambda$. It pierces a thin non-conducting spherical shell of radius $R$ in such a way that the arc $PQ$ subtends an angle $120^{\circ}$ at the centre $O$ of the spherical shell,as shown in the figure. The permittivity of free space is $\epsilon_0$. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
$(A)$ The electric flux through the shell is $\sqrt{3} R \lambda / \epsilon_0$
$(B)$ The $z$-component of the electric field is zero at all the points on the surface of the shell
$(C)$ The electric flux through the shell is $\sqrt{2} R \lambda / \epsilon_0$
$(D)$ The electric field is normal to the surface of the shell at all points

If electric flux is coming out of a Gaussian surface,what is associated with the surface?
