What is electric flux?

Electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a closed surface.

What is the formula for electric flux?

Electric Flux = Electric Field x Area x Cos(θ)

What is the SI unit of electric flux?

The SI unit of electric flux is Nm²C⁻¹.

What is the difference between electric flux and electric flux density?

Electric flux density is the electric flux per unit area, whereas electric flux is the total flux through a closed surface.

What is net electric flux?

Net electric flux is the total number of electric field lines passing through a closed surface, taking into account the direction of the lines.

Can electric flux be negative?

Yes, electric flux can be negative if the electric field lines are entering the closed surface instead of leaving it.

What happens to the electric flux when the angle between the electric field and the surface is 90 degrees?

When the angle between the electric field and the surface is 90 degrees, the electric flux becomes zero.

What is the electric surface charge density?

Electric surface charge density is the amount of charge per unit area on a surface.

What is Gaussian surface?

Gaussian surface is an imaginary closed surface used for calculating electric flux.

What is the difference between Gaussian surface and closed surface?

Gaussian surface is an imaginary surface used for calculation of electric flux, whereas closed surface is a surface that encloses a space.

What is the significance of electric flux in Gauss's law?

Electric flux is used in Gauss's law to relate the amount of charge enclosed by a closed surface to the flux through the surface.

What is the principle of superposition in electric flux?

The principle of superposition in electric flux states that the total electric flux through a surface due to a number of point charges is equal to the sum of the individual electric fluxes through the surface due to each charge.

What is the difference between electric flux and magnetic flux?

Electric flux is the number of electric field lines passing through a closed surface, whereas magnetic flux is the number of magnetic field lines passing through a closed surface.

What is the relation between electric flux and electric potential?

Electric flux is related to electric potential through Gauss's law, which relates the flux to the charge enclosed by a closed surface and the electric potential on the surface.

What is the significance of electric flux in electrostatics?

Electric flux is used in electrostatics to understand and analyze the behavior of electric charges and the electric field they create.
