Answer:

relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gauss Law states that overall electric flux of a closed surface is equivalent right to charge enclosed which is divided by the permittivity. In other words Gauss Law stress that

net electric flux that pass through an hypothetical closed surface is equivalent to overall electric charge present within that closed surface.

The Gauss law can be expressed mathematically as

ϕ = (Q/ϵ0)

Q = total charge within the surface,

ε0 = the electric constant
