NEET Physics Electric Flux Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The electric flux through a surface is zero if the net charge enclosed by the surface is zero. | Reason (R): According to Gauss's law, the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed within the surface.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and the reason are true as per Gauss's law, which states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed within the surface, hence if the net charge is zero, the flux is zero.
