उत्तर
E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will have a contribution from q2 and q4 only.
Explanation:
According to Gauss’ law, the term `q_(enclosed)` on the right side of the equation `oint_s E.ds = q_(enclosed)/ε_0` includes the sum of all charges enclosed by the surface called (Gaussian surface). In left side equation, the electric field is due to all the charges present both inside as well as outside the Gaussian surface.

Consider a region inside which there are various types of charges but the total charge is zero. At points outside the region
- the electric field is necessarily zero.
- the electric field is due to the dipole moment of the charge distribution only.
- the dominant electric field is `∞ 1/r^3`, for large r, where r is the distance from a origin in this region.
- the work done to move a charged particle along a closed path, away from the region, will be zero.
