The symbol for electric flux is Φ (uppercase Greek letter phi). It is often written as Φ_E when specifically referring to electric flux.
The formula for electric flux is:
\[
\Phi_E = \int \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{A}
\]
Where:
In simpler terms, electric flux represents the amount of electric field passing through a surface.
The formula for electric flux is:
\[
\Phi_E = \int \mathbf{E} \cdot d\mathbf{A}
\]
Where:
- Φ_E is the electric flux.
- E is the electric field.
- dA is an infinitesimal area element on the surface.
- The dot product (·) indicates that the flux depends on the angle between the electric field and the surface normal.
