Gauss's law states that

  • A
    the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge placed near the closed surface.
  • B
    the total electric flux through a closed surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge enclosed by the closed surface.
  • C
    the total electric flux through an open surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge placed near the open surface.
  • D
    the line integral of electric field around the boundary of an open surface is $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}$ times the total charge placed near the open surface.

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

The electric field in a region is given by $\vec{E}=(2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}) \times 10^3 \ N/C$. The flux of the field through a rectangular surface parallel to the $x-z$ plane is $6.0 \ N m^2 C^{-1}$. The area of the surface is . . . . . . $cm^2$.

Gauss's law is true only if the force due to a charge varies as:
