the electric field produced due to a time varying magnetic field is non-conservative in nature. does it follow gauss law?
All electric fields satisfy Gauss's law.miss photon said:the electric field produced due to a time varying magnetic field is non-conservative in nature. does it follow gauss law?

Gauss' Law is a fundamental law in physics that relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the total charge enclosed within that surface. It states that the electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by that surface divided by the permittivity of free space. This law is a consequence of the fact that electric fields originate from electric charges.
Yes, Gauss' Law applies to both conservative and non-conservative electric fields. It is a general law that holds true in all cases.
One example of a non-conservative electric field is an electric field created by a changing magnetic field. In this case, the electric field is not a conservative field because the work done by the electric field on a charged particle depends on the path taken by the particle.
In order to use Gauss' Law to calculate the electric field in a non-conservative field, we need to know the total charge enclosed within a closed surface and the electric flux through that surface. The electric field can then be calculated by dividing the total charge by the permittivity of free space.
Gauss' Law is important because it is a fundamental law that helps us understand how electric fields are created and how they interact with charges. It also allows us to make predictions about the behavior of electric fields and to calculate their strength in different situations.
