Short Description of Topic There are 4 main components to Gauss's Law: 1) that the electric field is proportional with the inside charge by a constant of (1/e(not)) 2) The size and the shape of the surface that you choose to enclose the charge do not affect Guass's Law. 3) Gauss's law works for any number of point charges within the closed surface. 4) Any charges that are found outside of the closed surface do not contribute to the net flux.
