Hi there,

Gauss law states that total electric fluss which is the electric field multiplied by the are of surface out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by permitivitty.

It is an powerful tool for the calculation of an electric field when they originate from charge distribution of an surface or symmetry.

Hope this will help you.

Thank tou

Hello,

Gauss Law states that the net flux of an electric field in a closed surface is directly proportional to the enclosed electric charge. It is one of the four equations of Maxwell's Law of electromagnetism.

Another statement of Gauss’s law states that the net flux of a given electric field through a given surface, divided by the enclosed charges should be equal to a constant.

The Gauss Law is given by,

∫E⋅dA=Q/ε 0

where, Q is the enclosed electric charge

E is the electric field vector

ε 0 is the electric permittivity of free space

A is the normal area

Also, flux is given as Φ=∫E⋅dA

Best Wishes.
