Maxwell's Equations Quiz

What does Gauss's Law for Electricity state about the electric flux through a closed surface?

• It is proportional to the charge outside the enclosed surface.

• It is proportional to the total charge enclosed within the surface.

• It is always zero regardless of the charges inside.

• It depends on the shape of the surface.

Gauss's Law for Magnetism states that the magnetic flux through any closed surface is:

• Equal to the total current passing through the surface.

• Proportional to the magnetic field strength inside the surface.

• Zero, because there are no magnetic monopoles.

• Equal to the magnetic field times the area of the surface.

Faraday's Law of Induction describes how a change in magnetic flux through a loop induces:

• An electric field that is constant in time.

• A magnetic field in the opposite direction.

• A voltage in the loop.

• A constant magnetic field.

Ampère's Circuital Law, especially when modified by Maxwell to include the displacement current, relates the magnetic field around a closed loop to:

• The electric flux through the loop.

• The total electric charge within the loop.

• The total current, including displacement current, passing through any surface bounded by the loop.

• The resistance of the loop.

Which form of Maxwell's Equations uses the divergence and curl operators?

• Integral form

• Differential form

• Both integral and differential forms

• Neither form
