When is the electric flux negative and when is it positive ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electric flux `phi=vec(E).vec(A)`. If angle between `vec(E)` and `vec(A)` is `180^(@)`, then flux will have a '-ve' sign. We consider the flux flowing out of the surface as positive and flux entering into the surface as negative.
