The video tutorial explains Gauss's law, which relates the charge enclosed in a region to the electric flux over the enclosing surface. It covers the calculation of electric fields for different charge distributions: an infinitely long charged wire, a uniformly charged plane sheet, and a thin spherical shell. The tutorial details the use of Gaussian surfaces to derive expressions for electric field intensity in each scenario, emphasizing the role of symmetry and charge distribution.
