Integral Form of Gauss's Law

The integral form of Gauss's Law states that the total electric flux passing through a closed surface equals the amount of electric charge enclosed inside that surface divided by a constant (called the vacuum permittivity). In simpler terms, it means that the electric field lines originating or ending inside a region are directly related to the electric charges within that region. If there are no charges inside, the total electric flux through the surface is zero. This law helps in calculating electric fields around charged objects by examining the symmetry and the total charge enclosed.
