-- 23. Consider the following statement for Gauss's law given in the form φ = ∮ E · dAStatement (A): If we displace the enclosed charges without crossing the boundary of the Gaussian surface, then E and φ both change.Statement (B): If the charges cross the boundary of the Gaussian surface, then φ ch

Accepted Answer

Answer: Both statements (A) and (B) are incorrect — Statement A: Flux φ depends only on enclosed charge, so it won't change if charge moves within. Statement B: If charge crosses, enclosed charge changes, so φ MUST change. E also changes because the po
