LESSON 4

Electric Flux and Gausses Law

Electric flux, property of an electric field that may be thought of as the number of electric lines of
force (or electric field lines) that intersect a given area. Electric field lines are considered to originate on
positive electric charges and to terminate on negative charges.
Electric flux application helps calculate the electric field for a given charge distribution enclosed by a closed
surface. The electric flux concept is used in electric motors, inductors, and mechanical electric
generators through current and electricity

NEGATIVE electric flux means greater than 90 degrees. Electric flux is scalar quantity.
