Five charges q₁, q₂, q₃, q₄ and q₅ are fixed as shown. S is a Gaussian surface. Gauss's law is ∮ 𝐄·ds= Q/ε₀, where Q is the net charge enclosed by S. Which statement is correct?

Options

• Option A

  The field 𝐄 on the left side receives contributions from q₁, q₃ and q₅ only, while Q on the right side contains q₂ and q₄ only.

• Option B

  The field 𝐄 on the left side receives contributions from all five charges, while Q on the right side contains only the charges enclosed by S, q₂ and q₄.

• Option C

  The field 𝐄 on the left side receives contributions from all five charges, while Q on the right side contains q₁, q₃ and q₅ only.

• Option D

  Both 𝐄 and Q receive contributions from q₂ and q₄ only.
