From: JEE Main 2021 (Online) 31st August Evening Shift

Question

Choose the incorrect statement :

(1) The electric lines of force entering into a Gaussian surface provide negative flux.

(2) A charge 'q' is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux through all the faces will be the same.

(3) In a uniform electric field net flux through a closed Gaussian surface containing no net charge, is zero.

(4) When electric field is parallel to a Gaussian surface, it provides a finite non-zero flux.
