Question
For a spherically shaped gaussian surface, we are told that more electric field lines leave the surface than enter it. What conclusions can we make? Select all answers that apply. Question 2 options:
a)The electric field is constant over the gaussian surface.
b)The gaussian surface encloses a negative total charge.
c)It's not clear whether the charge enclosed by the gaussian surface is positive or negative.
d)The gaussian surface encloses a positive total charge.
e)It is impossible to find the electric field in the region unless more information is provided.
f)The net flux through the gaussian surface is positive.
