Physics

A point charge +q is at the origin. A sphericalGaussian surface centered at the origin encloses +q. Sodoes a cubical surface centered at the origin and with edgesparallel to the axes. Select \"True\" or \"False\" for each statementbelow.

1. Suppose (for this statement only), that q is movedfrom the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The fluxthrough both surfaces is changed.

2.If the radius of the spherical Gaussian Surface is varied, theflux through it also varies.

3. The area vector and the E-Field vector point in the samedirection for all points on the spherical surface.

4. The E-Field at all points on the spherical surface is equaldue to spherical symmetry.

5. The Electric Flux through the spherical surface is less thanthat through the cubical surface.
