To understand the meaning of the variables in Gauss's law, and the conditions under which the law is applicable. Gauss's law is
usually written ΦE=∫E.dA =qencl/ϵ0
, where ϵ0=8.85×10−12C2/(N⋅m2) is the permittivity of vacuum.
How should the integral in Gauss's law be evaluated?
a. around the perimeter of a closed loop
b. over the surface bounded by a closed loop
c. over a closed surface
