Question
Define Electric Flux. Write its SI unit.

Answer

Electric flux $\triangle\phi$, through an area element $\overrightarrow{\triangle S}$, is defined by
$\triangle\phi=\overrightarrow{E}.\overrightarrow{\triangle S}=E\triangle S\cos\theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between$\overrightarrow{E}\text{ }\text{and}\text{ }\overrightarrow{\triangle S}.$
S.I unit of electric flux is $NC^{-1}m^2$.
