    Magnetic flux through a closed surface

    This is always zero, right? What if you construct a closed surface which only encompasses one of the poles of a magnet? Surely there would then be a non-zero flux as the inside of the surface would constitute a source (or sink) of magnetic field lines. I'm new to electromagnetism, so any...
