NEET Physics Electric Flux Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The electric flux through a closed 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 total 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
Gauss's law states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed. If the net charge is zero, the flux is zero.
