What is the unit of electric flux?(a) V/m(b) N/m(c) V*m(d) N/CoulombI got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Asked question is from Electric Flux in portion Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (c) V*m

To explain I would say: Flux is EQUAL to the product of field intensity and area of the surface. But field intensity multiplied by a LENGTH GIVES the unit of electric potential as E=-\(\frac {DV}{dx}\). Therefore, flux also means electric potential multiplied by length. This gives us the unit V*m. There is another unit of flux N*m^2*C^-1.
