Electric Flux Electric flux is proportional to the total number of electric field lines through a surface (N.m2/C)
Concept Question A cylindrical piece of insulating material is placed in an external electric field, as shown. The net electric flux passing through the surface of the cylinder is 1. positive. 2. negative. 3. zero.
Start with a single charge and a spherical surface around it Generalize to any surface Calculate the flux through the sphere Gauss’s Law
