The net flux over a closed surface is:
Flux = The surface integral of the field E = charge / permitivity in space (Gauss law)
The permitivity in space is:
8.85 10-12 Coulombs2/N m 2
So I understand the units of Flux are:
Newton meter2/Coulombs
Is this correct? I don't understand why in a book they say that the net flux is simply the charge, ignoring the permittivity units.
ALternatively the permittivity could be given in Farad/meter so our flux would be:
Coulombs meter/ Farad
Is this correct?
Thanks!
