The outer surface of the cardboard center of a paper towel roll: a. cannot be a Gaussian surface since it is an insulator. b. is a possible Gaussian surface. c. cannot be a Gaussian surface because it is not a closed surface. d. none of the other responses. e. cannot be a Gaussian surface because it encloses no charge.

Option C

The outer surface of the cardboard center of a paper towel roll: cannot be a Gaussian surface because it is not a closed surface.

A Gaussian surface is a bounded surface, ie. an impounded plain, bounded by space which can be practiced in obtaining out the mass of flux of electric, gravitational, or any additional field.

It should be closed surface so that a precise estimation can be performed within points that are inside the cover, on the surface, and outside the cover is the prime part of this. In this problem with considering that paper towel roll is not a closed surface, it is not a gaussian surface.

it is the second option.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
