00:02 Hello, in the question we have said that consider a spherical gaussian surface of radius are centered at origin.

00:11 So, a charge queue is placed inside the spear.

00:15 So, to maximize the magnitude of the flux, the electric field through, so see, what they are saying is that we have this gaussian surface.

00:25 So if we draw a gaussian surface around a point charge queue, so in this caution surface, what we have, is a point charge q.

00:37 So and this this gaussian surface is centered at origin and the radius of this gaussian surface is capital r.

00:45 So they are asking us to maximize the magnitude of flux.

00:50 So the electric field through the gaussian surface, the charge should be located.

00:59 So what will be the, what should be the location? so this is the gaussian surface.

01:10 Now, so what is gosson surface? now, so what is gauss law.

01:19 Goss law states that the flux, the total flux passing through an surface is equal to q enclosed divided by epsilon 0.

01:30 So this is the formula.

01:32 Now we can also write this in this way.

01:36 So close integral, sorry.

01:39 So one can write this formula as close integral a bar dot ds bar is equal to q enclosed divided by epsilon 0.

01:51 So this is the formula...
