1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy
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
Solution
(c) The Gauss's law states that the total electric flux coming out from a volume of charges is equal to the charge enclosed times the permittivity of the medium inside the surface.
So if $\int E . d s=0$, it implies that net flux through the surface is zero i.e. there is no charge enclosing that surface.
