Mark the correct options: Gauss's law is valid only for uniform charge distributions. Gauss's law is valid only for charges placed in vacuum. The electric field calculated by Gauss's law is the field due to all the charges. The flux of the electric field through a closed surface due to all the charges is equal to the flux due to the charges enclosed by the surface.
