Electric Flux Through Surface
Key Concepts — Electric Flux Through Surface
01
Electric flux Φ = ∫ E⃗·dA⃗ measures the number of field lines crossing a surface.
02
For uniform E: Φ = EA cosθ, where θ is the angle between E⃗ and area normal n̂.
03
Maximum when n̂ ∥ E⃗ (θ=0), zero when perpendicular (θ=90°).
