Electric flux through closed surface via total charge ===================================================== Known as **Gauss's law**, it states that the electric flux through any closed surface :math:`S` is equal to the total charge within volume :math:`V` enclosed by that surface, and in the SI units, divided by the vacuum permittivity. The closed surface is also referred to as **Gaussian surface**. **Conditions:** #. :math:`S = \partial V`, i.e. surface :math:`S` encloses volume :math:`V`. In other words, the surface must be closed. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.electricity.electric_flux_through_closed_surface_via_total_charge .. py:data:: total_electric_flux :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.electrodynamics.electric_flux` through surface :math:`S`.
