State Gauss law Explain how to find electric flux due to a p

State Gauss law? Explain how to find electric flux due to a point charge inside spherical and non-spherical surfaces separately with necessary figures? What is the electric flux() produced through a disk of radius 0.01m which is oriented at 10^degree to the uniform electric field (E) of 1.0 Times 10^2N/Coul.

Solution

Gauss\'s law states that the net flux of an electric field through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed electric charge. One of the four equations of Maxwell\'s laws of electromagnetism, it was first formulated by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835 and relates the electric fields at points on a closed surface (known as a \"Gaussian surface\") and the net charge enclosed by that surface. The electric flux is defined as the electric field passing through a given area multiplied by the area of the surface in a plane perpendicular to the field. Another statement of Gauss\'s law is that the net flux of an electric field through a surface divided by the enclosed charge is equal to a constant.
