Gauss Law of Electrostatics

According to Gauss law of electrostatics, electric flux through a closed surface depends on
The shape of the surface
The volume enclosed by the surface
The area of the surface
The quantity of charges enclosed by the surface

Solution:

By Gauss's law, \(\Phi_E = \frac{q_{\text{enclosed}}}{ε_0}\). The flux depends only on the net charge enclosed inside the surface, and is independent of the size and shape of the closed surface.
