ÎSimple definition of electric flux (E constant, flat surface) E at an angle θto planar surface, area A. Units = Electric Flux In Chapterwe showed that the strength of an electric field is proportional to the number of field lines per area. Thus, since the flux can be positive or negative for a closed Gauss's Law. Gauss's Law is one of thefundamental laws of electricity and magnetism called Maxwell's Equations. Gauss's law relates charges and electric fields in a subtle and powerful way, but be
