Gauss's Law for Electricity

Introduction to Gauss's Law for Electricity

Gauss's Law for Electricity relates the electric flux passing through a closed surface to the total charge enclosed by that surface. The formula states that the electric flux Φ_E through a closed surface is equal to the charge q enclosed by that surface divided by the electric constant ε₀.

Parameter usage:

• q = charge enclosed by the surface
• epsilon = electric constant (ε)

Output:

• ΦE = electric flux

Data validation

The charge (q) and electric constant (ε) should be greater than zero.

Summary

This formula is an essential component of understanding the behavior of electric fields in various physical scenarios.
