Electric flux measures the flow of electric field through a surface. It is defined as the dot product of the electric field and the normal to the surface, integrated over the surface area. It represents the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

What are the two main types of flux?

Types of flux - Electric and Magnetic Flux. Electric field flux through a closed surface is equal to the change enclosed in the surface, or the rate of change of magnetic flux is equal to the induced voltage around the surface.


What is maximum and minimum electric flux?

As we know that electric flux is the total number of electric lines of forces passing through a surface. Maximum Flux: Electric flux through a surface will be maximum when electric lines of forces are perpendicular to the surface. Minimum flux: Electric flux through a surface will be minimum or zero when electric lines of forces are parallel to the surface.


What are the units of electric flux?

The units of electric flux are Newtons per square meter, or Nm2.


What is the symbol for electric flux?

The symbol for electric flux is ΦE. It represents the amount of electric field penetrating a given surface area.


Is it possible for electric flux to have a negative value?

Yes, electric flux can have a negative value if the electric field and the area vector have opposite directions.


What are the factors upon electric flux depends on?

Electric flux depends on the strength of the electric field, the angle between the electric field and the surface, and the area of the surface the electric field passes through. Additionally, the distribution of charges within the field also affects the electric flux.


What is the unit of electric flux?

The unit of electric flux is Volt-meter or Newton-meter^2 Coulomb^-1.


Is electric flux density scalar or vector?

Scalar


What are the units of electric flux and how are they calculated?

The units of electric flux are Nm2/C (Newton meters squared per Coulomb). Electric flux is calculated by multiplying the electric field strength (N/C) by the area (m2) perpendicular to the field.


What do you mean by electric flux in electrostatics?

Under an electric field, magnitude and direction of electric intensity is different in every point.If the electric intensity can be defined through a closed line (direction of electric intensity will be along the tangent of any point of that line)this is called electric lines of force. Electric lines of forces passing through an closed electric surface perpendicularly, is called electric flux.


What is the difference between infinite electric flux and finite electric flux?

Is electric flux a vector quantity?
