Gauss's law
Gauss's law for electricity states that the electric flux across any closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface. The law implies that isolated electric charges exist and that like charges repel one another while unlike charges attract.

Gaussmeter
Instrument to measure the magnetic induction B. Generally, it uses a Hall sensor (see), that gives a voltage proportional to the field.
