Gauss's Law for Magnetism
Gauss's Law for Magnetism states that the total magnetic field passing through a closed surface is always zero. This means that magnetic field lines do not start or end; they form continuous loops. Unlike electric charges that can exist as positive or negative, magnetic poles always come in pairs, known as north and south. In magnetostatics, this law helps explain that while we can measure magnetic fields, we will never find a standalone magnetic charge. It reinforces the concept that magnetism always occurs in full loops, maintaining balance and symmetry in magnetic field behavior.
