Question

Your quiz has been submitted successfully Question 1 0/ 1 point Which of the following statements about Gauss's Law is FALSE? Gauss's Law states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed. Gauss's Law only applies to surfaces that are closed; it does not apply to open surfaces. Gauss's Law only holds when the charge distribution exhibits spherical, cylindrical, or planar symmetry. Gauss's Law is used to calculate the electric field if E dA is constant or zero over the Gaussian surface.

Explanation / Answer

The 3rd statement is false:

Gauss' Law only holds when the charge distribution exhibits spherical, cylindrical or planar symmetry.
