  • A
    Gauss's law applies to a closed surface of any shape.
  • B
    According to Gauss's law,if a closed surface encloses no charge,electric field must vanish everywhere on the surface.
  • C
    Gauss's law can be derived from Coulomb's law.
  • D
    According to Gauss's law,the net number of lines crossing any closed surface in an outward direction is proportional to the net charge on surface.

$A$ charged shell of radius $R$ carries a total charge $Q$. Let $\Phi$ be the flux of the electric field through a closed cylindrical surface of height $h$,radius $r$,with its center coinciding with that of the shell. The center of the cylinder is a point on the axis of the cylinder equidistant from its top and bottom surfaces. Which of the following option$(s)$ is/are correct? [$\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space]
$(1)$ If $h > 2R$ and $r > R$,then $\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$
$(2)$ If $h < \frac{8R}{5}$ and $r = \frac{3R}{5}$,then $\Phi = 0$
$(3)$ If $h > 2R$ and $r = \frac{4R}{5}$,then $\Phi = \frac{2Q}{5\epsilon_0}$
$(4)$ If $h > 2R$ and $r = \frac{3R}{5}$,then $\Phi = \frac{Q}{5\epsilon_0}$
