उत्तर १
The electric flux (ΦE) through any closed surface is equal to `1/in_0` times the ‘net’ change q enclosed by the surface.
ΦE = `oint vec E d vec A`
= `q/in_0`
∈0 = Permittivity of free space.
उत्तर २
Gauss’ theorem states that the net electric flux over a closed surface is `1/epsilon_0` times the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.

Φ = `oint vec E * d vec A`
= `q/epsilon_0`
