Gauss's law for electrostatic,

$\sum \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\Delta \mathrm{S}}=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}}$

(Where charge $q$ enclosed by a surface)

Gauss's law for magnetism,

$\sum \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\Delta \mathrm{S}}=0$

The difference between the Gauss's law of magnetism and electrostatics is that isolated magnetic poles (also called monopoles) does not exist.
