Q1.4Multiple choice
Five charges q1, q2, q3, q4, and q5 are fixed at their positions as shown in Fig. 1.4. S is a Gaussian surface. The Gauss’s law is given by Gaussian Surface E.ds = ε 0 q1 q2 Which of the following statements is correct?
This question refers to a figure in the original PDF.
- (a)E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution q4 from q1, q5 and q3 while q on the RHS will have a contribution from q 2 and q4 only. q5 q3
- (b)E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will have a contribution from q 2 and q4 only. Fig. 1.4
- (c)E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will have a contribution from q1, q3 and q5 only.
- (d)Both E on the LHS and q on the RHS will have contributions from q 2 and q4 only.
