Gauss's law

Short Description of Topic
A metal bar moving through a magnetic field will polarize as a result of magnetic force, and the resulting charge separation, maintained by the magnetic force, is reminiscent of a battery. The polarized bar can then be used to generate an electric current.
Qualitative description
Gauss's law is for finding electric field. The electric flux that passes through a closed surface can be found by adding up all the charges enclosed by the closed surface divided by the constant ε0; or by adding up all the electric field on the gaussian surface dot dA(the infinitesimal surface area). As illustrate by the equation.
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
where E is the electric field, dA is a vector representing an infinitesimal element of area,Template:Refn and · represents the dot product of two vectors.
