MHT CET Physics question

Gauss' 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 distribution

Answer: (C)

Solution

Gauss' law gives the electric field of symmetric charge distributions easily; the force between point charges is given by Coulomb's law, Gauss' law does not
