| has gloss | eng: A Gaussian surface is a closed three-dimensional surface through which a flux of an electric field is to be calculated. It is thus not an arbitrary closed surface S=\partial V. Rather the surface is used not only in conjunction with Gauss's integration law (a consequence of the divergence theorem), but also the Gauss relation of Maxwell electrodynamics, involving the Coulomb form of the electrical field, is considered, allowing one to calculate the total enclosed electric charge by performing a surface integral. |
