Gauss' law of electrostatics states ∮E⃗⋅dA⃗=qε0\oint\vec E\cdot d\vec A=\dfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0}, where qq is the net charge enclosed by the closed surface. Using the electrostatic analogy of Table 12.1, where the electrostatic constant 14πε0\dfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} corresponds to the magnetic constant μ04π\dfrac{\mu_0}{4\pi} (i.e. ε0\varepsilon_0 plays the role of 1μ0\dfrac{1}{\mu_0}), the hypothetical magnetic version of Gauss' law -- IF a monopole of pole strength pp really were enclosed by a surface -- would read ∮B⃗⋅dA⃗=μ0 p\oint\vec B\cdot d\vec A=\mu_0\,p. This is purely a thought experiment: si …
