Hello and thank you for the responses.
I've seen this as the standard explanation and I am not quite satisfied with it, due to the fact that it boils the problem down to single field lines. By definition of flux, the contribution of a single field line is zero because it enters the surface at...
I'm relearning basic electricity concepts and I can't find an answer to a situation I've thought up.
Imagine a cube with no enclosed charge and an electric field through it parallel to two of its faces. Guass's law says that the flux should be zero because there is no enclosed charge.
Every...
