Draw the electric field lines for a system of two identical positive charges placed near each other.

Consider the charges and the Gaussian surface shown in the figure. When calculating the electric flux through the spherical surface,the electric field is due to which of the following?

If some charge is given to a solid metallic sphere,the field inside remains zero and by Gauss's law all the charge resides on the surface. Now,suppose that Coulomb's force between two charges varies as $1 / r^{3}$. Then,for a charged solid metallic sphere

Assertion : Electric lines of force never cross each other.
Reason : Electric field at a point superimpose to give one resultant electric field.

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:

The flux of the electric field $\overrightarrow{E} = 24 \hat{i} + 30 \hat{j} + 28 \hat{k} \text{ NC}^{-1}$ through an area of $20 \text{ m}^2$ on the $yz$ plane is
