In gauss' law, is E necessarily attributed to the charge q?
I don't understand the question. Gauss's law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed. The portion of the electric field that creates a net flux can be attributed to the net charge within the surface: if no net charge, then no net flux.Originally posted by lamp post

Gauss’ Law is a fundamental law in electromagnetism that describes the relationship between electric charge and electric fields. It states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed electric charge.
Gauss’ Law states that the electric flux through a closed surface is directly proportional to the enclosed electric charge. This means that the electric field is directly related to the distribution of electric charge in a given space.
Yes, Gauss’ Law is a fundamental law in electromagnetism and is always true. It has been proven experimentally and is a cornerstone of understanding electric fields and electric charge.
The mathematical representation of Gauss’ Law is ∮E⃗ ⋅ dA = Qenc/ε0, where E⃗ is the electric field, dA is the differential area element, Qenc is the enclosed electric charge, and ε0 is the permittivity of free space.
Gauss’ Law is significant in physics because it allows us to calculate the electric field in a given space by knowing the distribution of electric charge. It also helps us understand the behavior of electric fields and how they are affected by electric charge. Gauss’ Law is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism and is used in many fields, including engineering, physics, and chemistry.
