A negative charge causes an …………. through the box’s surface

inward flux

New cards

Net electric flux through a surface is not affected by….

charges outside the surface

4
New cards

To calculate the electric flux when we have an area perpendicular to a uniform electric field, we can use the following formula:

E times A

5
New cards

To calculate the electric flux when we have an area that is NOT perpendicular to a uniform electric field, we can use the following formula:

E times Acos(theta)

New cards

Gauss’s Law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to ….

the total net charge inside the surface divided by epsilon nought
