Gauss law, Electric Work and Energy

Gauss's law, electric work, and electric energy are fundamental concepts in electromagnetism that describe the behaviour of electric fields and their interactions with charges. Gauss's law states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed electric charge, providing a powerful tool for calculating electric fields in various symmetric situations. Electric work refers to the energy required to move a charge within an electric field, and it is directly related to the force exerted by the field on the charge.
