Expert Solution
Step 1

Gauss law states that the total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to charge enclosed divided by the permittivity. 

The electric flux  in an area defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface multiplied by the area of the surface projected in a plane and perpendicular to the field.
