Construction principle:Field lines start at +q and end at –q.The number of lines is proportional to q.If the total charge is different from 0, there will be linesgoing to or coming from infinity.Field lines never cross.The field lines point in radial direction near point charges.

Application of Gauss’s law (integral form):
1. Spherical symmetry:
3. Plane symmetry:
The direction of the field is known, and it is constant on the Gaussian surface
2. Cylindrical symmetry:
