Gauss law is one of Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and it defines that the total electric flux in a closed surface is equal to change enclosed divided by permittivity. This article gives an overview of gauss law in dielectrics and magnetostatics with a mathematical expression. It describes the relation between the intensity of the electric field of a surface and the total electric charge enclosed by that surface. This law is explained and published by a German mathematician and physical Karl Friedrich Gauss law in the year 1867. It is one of the basic laws of electromagnetism, which is applicable for any type of closed surface known as a Gaussian surface.
The study of electric charge and electric flux along with the surface is the Gauss law.
