Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (B), (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Phi_E = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\) If \(\Phi_E = 0\), then \(Q_{enc} = 0\). (Option C is correct) If \(\Phi_E = 0\), the electric field \(\vec{E}\) does not necessarily have to be zero everywhere on the surface (e.g., external charges can create a non-zero \(\vec{E}\) with…
