Question:
How to prove that Gauss's law is true for any surface irrespective of shape or size
Answer:

Gauss law is valid for a closed surface of any size and shape and for any general charge distribution.

These are some examples-

1. We can find the electric field due to an infinitely long charged wire, by considering a cylindrical gaussian surface.

2. Electric field due to uniformly charged thin spherical shell, by considering concentric gaussian surface.
