AI Generated Solution

To find the expression for the electric field intensity at a point due to a point charge using Gauss's theorem, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Point Charge and Gaussian Surface:** - Let a point charge \( Q \) be located at the origin. We will consider a spherical Gaussian surface of radius \( r \) centered around the charge. 2. **Apply Gauss's Law:** ...
