Gauss's Law - Physics

Gauss' laws states that the the electric flux through a Gaussian surface will be proportional to the net total charge inside the Gaussian surface. By inspection of the figure, we see that Gaussian surface B is the correct answer.

According to Gaussian law, the electric flux will be zero when the net electric charge inside the Gaussian surface is zero. By inspection, we see this is Gaussian surface C.

According to Gauss's law, the total electric flux is equal to the net total electric charge inside the a Gaussian surface. If the Gaussian surface is three times larger, the electric flux will be the same if both Gaussian surfaces contain the same amount of total electric charge.

The direction of electric field describes the trajectory of a positive test charge. Since a positive test charge would want to move away from the positive metal plate and towards the negative metal plate, the direction would be A.

A conductor is defined as a object free to move charges. In particular, valence electrons, which are the outer most electron in each atom and the most free to move, travel inside the conductor until the net electric field inside the conductor is zero. These electrons will move until this condition has been met. Because of the presents of charged particles at the surface and the condition that they are no longer moving, any electric field at the surface must be perpendicular to that surface.
