The Maxwell's four equations are written as: (i) $\oint \vec{E} . \vec{ds}=\frac{q_0}{\varepsilon_0}$ |
Out of four Maxwell's equations above, which one shows non-existence of monopoles? |
(i) and (iv) (ii) only (iii) only (iv) only |
(ii) only |
Had there been a monopole, the integral of B.ds on a closed surface enclosing the monopole would have been non-zero. Thus the second equation shows the non-existence of monopole. |
