    Terminology of electric flux density

    In my book is says the electric flux density D is equal to εE if the medium is linear and isotropic, where E is the electric field and permittivity ε is a scalar. I have no idea what they mean by a linear and isotropic medium.. How am I suppose to know if the medium is linear or isotropic?

    Will an infinite plane of charge flux generate flux through itself?

    I just have a quick question, and I'm guessing the answer is no but I wanted to make sure that this was sensible. In general whenever we consider flux we think of some kind of closed surface or a scenario where charge closes back on itself. If I were to cut a hole in an infinite plate of...
