2. Charges outside the surface do not give a net electric flux through the surface.
3. The net electric flux is directly proportional to the net amount of charge
enclosed within the surface but is otherwise independent of the size of the
closed surface.

Figure 22.15 shows the field produced by two point charges and (an
electric dipole). Find the electric flux through each of the closed
surfaces A, B, C, and D.
Five Gaussian surfaces , , , , and each enclose part of this plane. Rank
these five surfaces in order of the electric flux through them, from
most positive to most negative.
Use Gauss’s law to find the electric field caused by a thin, flat, infinite
sheet with a uniform positive surface charge density
