Question

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options: Gaussʹs law is valid only for symmetric charge distributions, such as spheres and cylinders. If there is no charge inside of a Gaussian surface, the electric field must be zero at points of that surface. Only charge enclosed within a Gaussian surface can produce an electric field at points on that surface. If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Answer 1

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."
