Electric Flux

Electric flux is defined as the electric field multiplied by the component of a planar area perpendicular to the field. For non-planar areas, flux requires calculating an area integral as the angle is continually changing. When using an area vector, the magnitude represents the area and direction is perpendicular to the area.
