Imagine being on the equator (and that the Earth is a perfect sphere). Also imagine that the Earth is spinning just fast enough so that gravity is canceled out by the centripetal (or centrifugal, that's not important here) force. I have a wait of zero... no problem, right? Now what if I say...

Thank you for the replies. I still don't understand the answer, though. I know this is a technicality, but there is only one official unit for electric flux, and so my question is what that unit is. Is it volt-meters, coulombs, or something else? Thanks!

Hi all, What is the unit of electric flux? I know this is an easy question, but I've seen different units. In the following, I use the integral form of Gauss's law: \oint E\cdot dA=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0} 1. Many physics book and parts of Wikipedia vaguely say that the integral on the left side...
