Do coulomb's law and gauss's law complement to each other? Why?

Dear student,


Gauss' law and Coulomb's law are equivalent - meaning that they are one and the same thing. Either one of them can be derived from the other. For eg., consider a point charge q. As per Coulomb's law, the electric field produced by it is given by




This is Gauss's Law.

Hope this helps.
