Gauss law can be evaluated in which coordinate system?(a) Cartesian(b) Cylinder(c) Spherical(d) Depends on the Gaussian surfaceI have been asked this question during an internship interview.This intriguing question comes from Applications of Gauss Law in chapter Electrostatic Fields of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Right option is (d) Depends on the Gaussian surface

The best I can EXPLAIN: The Gauss law exists for all MATERIALS. Depending on the Gaussian surface of the MATERIAL, we take the coordinate systems accordingly. Suppose if the material is a coaxial cable, the Gaussian surface is in the form of cylinder. Thus we take Cylinder/Circular coordinate SYSTEM.
