Detailed Solution
Gauss Law, ∮E→.dA→=qenc∈0⇒∮E→ dA→ cosθ = qenc∈0If E→ is perpendicular to surface at all points , then angle betweenelectric field and area vector is 0o. It means surface is equipotential⇒∮E→ dA→ = qenc∈0If E→ is constant, it can be taken out of integration sign, ⇒E→ ∮dA→ = qenc∈0⇒E→ A→ = qenc∈0⇒E→ =qenc∈0A→
