Question

1) The Electric flux through a closed surface wholly within acharged conductor is zero.

2) It is more dangerous to sit inside a car when lightning strikesthan to stand in the open.

3) If the net charge enclosed by a Gaussian Surface is zero, thenby Gauss' Law, the E-Field is zero at all points on thesurface.

4) The Electric Flux through a closed surface depends on allcharges within and outside the surface. Even though a charge may beoutside the surface, its field lines pass through the surface thusaffecting the flux.

5) The Flux of the E-Field is a scalar.
