CBSE Class 12-science Answered

Why does the charge inside the closed surface of a gaussian surface contribute to electric flux. Why doesnt it pass through as in the case of electric flux due to a charge that is situated outside?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer
When we find electric flux through a surface, then we consider the charge enclosed by the surface. This is done because Gauss' law is defined in terms of charge enclosed. So, a charge that is situated inside the surface contributes to the flux.

why is the electric field inside a hollow sphere is zero? eventhough we consider gaussian surface where Q=0 won`t the charge on the surface of hollow sphere cause electric field inside hollow sphere? why??
