Intution to Gauss's Law

Introduction Gauss’s Law is a law that relates the flux of the electric field on a surface to the charge enclosed within that surface. What does that even mean? In this article, I want to walk you through the basics of electromagnetism and make it seem like even you could have derived this law if you knew what Gauss knew. A special thank you to Professor Ramamurti Shankar for describing this intuitive way of explaining Gauss’s Law....
