Gauss surface for a certain charges is an imaginary closed surface with area A, totally adjacent to the charges. It is a method widely used to compute the electric fields form symmetrically charged ...

The idea is simple: numerically calculate the electric flux through some surface. What the Heck is Flux? Is this the same as a flux capacitor? No. In physics, we say flux is a way to measure the field ...
