If more electric field lines leave a Gaussian surface than enterit, what can you

Question

If more electric field lines leave a Gaussian surface than enterit, what can you conclude about the net charge enclosed by thatsurface?    a. Not enoughinformation is given to decide.
   b.The surfacemust enclose a positive net charge.
   c.The surfacemust enclose a negative net charge.
   a. Not enoughinformation is given to decide.
   b.The surfacemust enclose a positive net charge.
   c.The surfacemust enclose a negative net charge.
   a. Not enoughinformation is given to decide.
   b.The surfacemust enclose a positive net charge.
   c.The surfacemust enclose a negative net charge.

Explanation / Answer

   Since lines of electric field start (originate ) at positive charge and terminate on -ve charge, morelines entering Gaussian surface than leaving it indicates that netcharge enclosed by the surface is negative in nature.
