Gauss's work in electromagnetism

Gauss's work in electromagnetism involved developing a mathematical way to understand electric and magnetic fields. He introduced Gauss's Law, which states that the total electric flux out of a closed surface is proportional to the electric charge inside. This helps visualize how charges distribute and how fields behave around them. His methods simplify calculating electric fields for various charge configurations, providing foundational tools for designing electrical systems and understanding natural phenomena like lightning and Earth's magnetism. Gauss's insights are key to modern electromagnetism and electrical engineering.
