- 1The net electric field at any point is due to all the charges present both inside and outside S.✓
- 2The electric field depends only on the difference between the total outside charge and inside charge.
- 3The electric field at any point is strictly due to the charges inside the surface S only.
- 4The electric field at any point is strictly due to the charges outside the surface S only.
Correct answer
The net electric field at any point is due to all the charges present both inside and outside S.
