Q6 Imagine a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r surrounding a point charge q. When the charge is at the center of the sphere. Where does the electric field, E, and local surface element, AA, or dA₁, pointing? Determine the direction in which the electric field and the local surface element point. (i) Both E and dA; outward. (ii) Electric field is everywhere normal to the surface and constant in magnitude. (iii) Electric field (E) is always radially outward in the same direction as the local surface element, dA;. (iv) Both (ii) and (iii) are correct (v) Both (i) and (iii) are correct.
