Electric Flux
Electric flux, abbreviated as \( \phi_e \), is how much of something goes through a given area.
Electric Flux Formulas
\(\large{ \phi_e = E \; S }\) | |
\(\large{ \phi_e = E_m \; S \; cos \; \theta }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ \phi_e }\) (Greek symbol phi) = electric flux
\(\large{ S }\) = area of the surface
\(\large{ E }\) = electric field
\(\large{ E_m }\) = magnitude of the electric field
\(\large{ \theta }\) (Greek symbol theta) = the angle between the electric field lines and the normal to S
\(\large{ \phi }\) (Greek symbol phi) = flux of electric field through a closed cylindrical surface
