3 The surface considered for Gauss’s law is called
A Closed surface
B Spherical surface
C Gaussian surface
D Plane surface

Answer:Gaussian surface
4 Consider a region inside which, there are various types of charges but the total charge is zero. At points outside the region
A the electric field is necessarily zero.
B the electric field is due to the dipole moment of the charge distribution only.
C the dominant electric field is inversely pro-portional to r3, for large r (distance from ori-gin).
D the work done to move a charged particle along a closed path, away from the region will not be zero.

Answer: the dominant electric field is inversely pro-portional to r3, for large r (distance from ori-gin).

6 Which of the following statements is not true about Gauss’s law?
A Gauss’s law is true for any closed surface.
B The term q on the right side side of Gauss’s law includes the sum of all charges enclosed by the surface.
C Gauss’s law is not much useful in calculating electrostatic field when the system has some symmetry.
D Gauss’s law is based on the inverse square dependence on distance contained in the coulomb’s law

Answer:Gauss’s law is not much useful in calculating electrostatic field when the system has some symmetry.
