Gaussian surface :It is a closed surface in a three dimensional space through which the magnetic flux of any type of vector field can be found, this includes the electric field, the gravitational field, or magnetic field.
Basically Gaussian surface is an arbitrary closed surface used in accordance with Gauss's law for the particular field (for electricity, gravity, or Gauss' law for magnetism) by applying a surface integral, to calculate the total amount of the quantity of the source enclosed, i.e. the amount of electric charge (q) for of the electrostatic field or the amount of gravitational mass for the source of the gravitational field, or vice versa and then calculate the net fields for the source distribution in physics.
