Electric Flux (Gauss Law) Calculator
The will calculate the electric flux produced by electric field lines flowing through a closed surface:
- When electric field is given
- When the charge is given
The electric flux (inward flux) through a closed surface when electric field is given is V ∙ m [Volt times metre] |
The electric flux (outward flux) through a closed surface when electric field is given is V ∙ m [Volt times metre] |
The electric flux through a closed surface when the charge is given using the Gauss Law is |
