Gauss’ Theorem:
This theorem gives a relationship between the total flux passing through any closed surface and the net charge enclosed within the surface.
”Gauss’ theorem state that the total flux through any closed surface is 1/ε₀ times the net charge enclosed by the closed surface”.
Mathematically, it can be expressed as-
Gaussian Surface:
A closed surface around a charge distribution is such that the electric field intensity has a single fixed value at every point on the surface and the electric flux through the surface is normal to the surface.
Proof:
To prove Gauss Theorem we will take an isolated positive charge inside a surface at its Centre. let S be the surface area and r be the radius of the sphere.
Since every point on surface is equidistant from its centre so its surface is a Gaussian surface.
