alleryNumber of charges that can be enclosed in a Gaussian surface in vacuum:
A1
BUp to 10
CAny number
DZero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Any number
Gauss's law works for ANY closed surface enclosing any amount of charge.
The total flux equals q_total/ε₀ regardless of how the charges are distributed inside (point, line, sphere, etc.).
