The figure shows the electric field lines of three charges with charge $+1, +1$, and $-1$. The Gaussian surface in the figure is a sphere containing two of the charges. The total electric flux through the spherical Gaussian surface is
Positive
Negative
Zero
Impossible to determine without more information
$(a)$ An electrostatic field line is a continuous curve. That is, a field line cannot have sudden breaks. Why not?
$(b)$ Explain why two field lines never cross each other at any point?
Gauss's law can help in easy calculation of electric field due to
Consider an electric field $\vec{E}=E_0 \hat{x}$, where $E_0$ is a constant. The flux through the shaded area (as shown in the figure) due to this field is
A point charge of $+\,12 \,\mu C$ is at a distance $6 \,cm$ vertically above the centre of a square of side $12\, cm$ as shown in figure. The magnitude of the electric flux through the square will be ....... $\times 10^{3} \,Nm ^{2} / C$
When electric flux is said to be positive, negative or zero ?
