MHT CET Physics question

Gauss's law helps in

(A)determination of electric force between point charges
(B)situations where Coulomb's law fails
(C)determination of electric field due to symmetric charge distributionCorrect
(D)determining electric potential due to symmetric charge distributions

Answer: (C)

Solution

Gauss's law gives the electric field directly when the charge distribution has sufficient symmetry (spherical, cylindrical, planar); it does not give the force between point
