Practical examples around us
Examples Explainations
Every plane sheet charge Every plane sheet charge around us has some field, which can be calculated using Gauss's law.
What you learn in Theory:

Electric field due to a long infinite plane sheet is independent of the distance.

What you learn in Practice:

If the charge enclosed in a rectangular surface is zero, then according to Gauss's law the field will be zero.
