Q. What is the nature of Gaussian surface involved in Gauss law of electrostatic ?

KCETKCET 2014Electric Charges and Fields

Solution:

The Gauss's law in electrostatic given a relation between electric flux through any closed hypothetical surface (called a Gaussian surface) and the charge enclosed by the surface. So, the nature is area vector.
