Electric Flux Ψ displacement charge
Flux lines leave +Q and terminate on -Q
equal but opposite charge induced
Ψ = Q coulombs
The amount of flux per unit area is the flux density

The Divergence Theorem
This Theorem allows us to calculate the charge by enclosing it within a surface or integrating over a volume
