how to draw the electric lines of force due to two equal point charges kept at some saperation?
Shoudn't the electric field inside the integral be the normal component of the field to the surface? Gp4rts ( talk) 01:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
OK, the dot product with the surface normal is included in the integral Gp4rts ( talk) 08:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
What physical phenomenon does flux correspond to? The integral of acceleration is velocity. The integral of ... is flux. I know what velocity is, but I have no idea what flux is after reading this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.187.99.79 ( talk) 19:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Just changed no. to number. 71.139.164.10 ( talk) 21:56, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Any idea why the Germans use Psi (Ψ) for the electric flux and the English use Phi_e (ΦE)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.74.227.132 ( talk) 10:27, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Electric flux has been integrated over 'D', not 'E'. ISO 31 and ASA 1046 gives 'electric flux' as having units 'coulomb', and symbol of [math]\Psi[/math]. I have not found a reference before 1975 using E as the basis of flux, although 'Electromagnetism' (I.S.Grant and W.R.Phillips, Wiley) uses E to form flux. This article would require some discussion on displacement flux, which also goes by this name too. Wendy.krieger ( talk) 11:38, 17 January 2017 (UTC).
I think it would be quite useful to explain how electric flux is useful for determining the electric effects of charged bodies that cannot be approximated as a single point in space. We need electric flux because we need to calculate how charged cylinders, cones, etc affect their surroundings and even themselves. CessnaMan1989 ( talk) 17:54, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Can we also explain, maybe near the end, how it works in Gaussian units? Gah4 ( talk) 01:42, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
