What is the nature of Gaussian surface involved in Gauss’s law of electrostatics?

Options

(a) scalar
(b) electrical
(c) Magnetic
(d) Vector

Correct Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

The Gauss’s law in electrostatics gives a relation between electric flux through any closed hypothetical surface (called a Gaussian surface) and the charge enclosed by the surface. So, the nature of Gaussian surface is vector.
