The total number of electric field lines passing a given area in a unit time is defined as the electric flux.
If the plane is normal to the flow of the electric field, the total flux is given as:
Ξ¦=EA
When the same plane is tilted at an angle Ζ, the projected area is given as AcosΖ and the total flux through this surface is given as
Ξ¦ = EACosΞΈ
Where,
- E is the magnitude of the electric field
- A is the area of the surface through which the electric flux is to be calculated
- Ζ is the angle made by the plane and the axis parallel to the direction of flow of the electric field
