Question

Outside a spherically symmetric charge distribution of net charge Q, Gauss's law can be used to show that the electric field at a given distance:___________.

A) must be directed inward.
B) acts like it originated in a point charge Q at the center of the distribution.
C) must be directed outward.
D) must be greater than zero.
E) must be zero.

Answer 1

Q at the center of the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Gauss's law is the law that relates to the distribution of electrical charges to the resulting electrical field. It states that a flux of electricity outside the arabatory closed surface is proportional to the electricitical harg enclosed by the surface.
