For a given surface,the Gauss's law is stated as $\oint {E \cdot ds} = 0$. From this,we can conclude that:

  • A
    $E$ is necessarily zero on the surface
  • B
    $E$ is perpendicular to the surface at every point
  • C
    The total flux through the surface is zero
  • D
    The flux is only going out of the surface
