on the at any point on the surface

2. Test Bank, Question 5


Choose the INCORRECT statement:
Gauss' law can be derived from Coulomb's law
Gauss' law states that the net number of lines crossing any closed surface in an outward direction is
proportional to the net charge enclosed within the surface

Gauss' law applies to a closed surface of any shape
According to Gauss' law, if a closed surface encloses no charge, then the electric field must vanish everywhere
on the surface
