Asked by mnop

What is the net electric flux within a Gaussian surface is directly related to what physical quantity/quantities?
a) the area chosen
b) the amount of charge enclosed by the area
c) both the amount of charge enclosed by the area and the area chosen
Answered by Damon
The whole point is that the total flux through the surface is proportional to the enclosed charge. If the surface surrounding a point charge is a sphere, the E field drops with the radius squared so that the integral of E d area is constant as you get further away.
