SUMMARY
The overall electric flux of a rigid body, such as a stone, is defined similarly to that of a closed surface. It is calculated as the net sum of electric field lines entering and exiting the surface of the rigid body. The principle remains consistent: the total electric flux is the difference between the incoming and outgoing flux through the body's surface. This foundational concept is crucial for understanding electric fields in various physical contexts.
