Theory and Experiment On Electric flux and Gauss's Law

Description
Electric flux has been explained by comparing with air flow.Electric flux as surface integral has been calculated.Calculation of flux through a sphere leads to Gauss's law. Gauss's law is applied to calculate the electric field inside and outside of a hollow sphere with uniformly distributed charge. Other applications are calculation of electric field around a plane and long cylinder.
