Q1

In finding the electric field using Gauss Law the formula \(\left|\vec{E}\right|=\frac{{q}_{enc}}{{\epsilon }_{0}\left|A\right|}\) is applicable. In the formula \({\epsilon }_{0}\) is permittivity of free space, A is the area of Gaussian surface and \({q}_{enc}\) is charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. The equation can be used in which of the following situation?

[JEE Main 2020, 8 Jan (Shift 1)]

Only when the Gaussian surface is an equipotential surface.

b

Only when \(\left|\vec{E}\right|\) = constant on the surface.

c

Only when the Gaussian surface is an equipotential surface and \(\left|\vec{E}\right|\) is constant on the surface.

d

For any choice of Gaussian surface
