Electric Flux and Intensity

Electric Flux and Intensity

Electric Flux and Intensity

(OP)
What is the physical relationship between electric flux and electric intensity apart from the mathematical relationship?

Thanks.

RE: Electric Flux and Intensity

Electric flux is conventionally described in terms of fictitious flow lines, originating from a positive charge distribution, and terminating on associated negative charge distributions. The density of the 'flux lines', or 'lines of force' per unit area, may be taken as a measure of the 'strength' of the electric field, or its intensity. In other words, the denser the flux lines due to a charge configuration, the more intense the electric field due to that configuration.

RE: Electric Flux and Intensity


the flux density (D) includes the effect of polarization while intensity (E) does not.
