Q. What about Gauss theorem is not incorrect?

A) It can be derived by using Coulomb’s law
B) It is valid for conservative field, obeys inverse square root law
C) Gauss theorem is not applicable in gravitation
D) Both (a) and (b)
Explanation

(c) (i) Coulomb’s law is derived by using Gauss theorem Hence, statement (a) is incorrect.
(ii) Gauss’s theorem is valid for conservative field, obeys inverse square law not inverse square root law.
So, statement (b) is also incorrect.
(iii) Gauss’s theorem is not applicable in gravitation. So, this statement is correct.
