What is the nature of Gaussian surface involved in Gauss' law of electrostatics?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The Gauss's law of electrostatics gives a relation between electric flux through any closed hypothetical surface called a Gaussian surface and the charge enclosed by the surface. The Gaussian surface has a direction outwards the enclosed path. It obeys vector algebra rules.
So, the nature of Gaussian surface is vector.
