    $r^{-1}$
  • B
    $r^{-2}$
  • C

Choose the incorrect statement:
$(a)$ The electric lines of force entering into a Gaussian surface provide negative flux.
$(b)$ $A$ charge '$q$' is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux through all the faces will be the same.
$(c)$ In a uniform electric field,the net flux through a closed Gaussian surface containing no net charge is zero.
$(d)$ When the electric field is parallel to a Gaussian surface,it provides a finite non-zero flux.
