Electric Flux and Closed Surfaces

This lecture covers the concept of electric flux through closed surfaces, emphasizing the calculation of flux using surface integrals. It explains the relationship between electric flux and charge enclosed within a closed surface, illustrating with examples like spheres and boxes. The instructor discusses the importance of understanding the direction of the electric field and the normal vector to the surface. Various scenarios are explored, including situations where the electric field and the normal vector are parallel or perpendicular. The lecture also delves into the significance of flux in different contexts, such as in determining the charge enclosed within a closed surface.
