The video tutorial introduces Gauss's law for electrostatics and magnetism. It explains that in electrostatics, the number of electric field lines entering and leaving a closed surface is equal, resulting in no net charge. However, a net positive charge can create an outward flux. In contrast, magnetic fields form closed loops, and for any closed surface, the magnetic flux is zero due to the absence of magnetic monopoles. The tutorial highlights the differences between Gauss's law for electrostatics and magnetism, emphasizing that magnetic monopoles do not exist, leading to zero net magnetic flux through a closed surface.
