so my book has a point charge q inside an arbitrary surface S and at a point P on the surface S, the electric field is E = q/4(π)(ε0)(r2). so the flux through S is then dΦ = E * dS = q/4(π)(ε0)(r2) * dS = q/4(π)(ε0) * dScosθ /(r2) = q/4(π)(ε0) * dΩ. then my book takes the integral of both sides and ends up with Φ = q/4(π)(ε0) ∫ dΩ = q/4(π)(ε0) (4π) = q/(ε0).
what i don't understand it how did ∫ dΩ become 4π?
