The discussion centers on the concept of electric flux and its calculation using Gauss's law. Electric flux quantifies the electric field passing through a surface, defined mathematically as the surface integral of the electric field vector over that surface. The conversation highlights the distinction between uniform and non-uniform electric fields, emphasizing that calculating flux in non-uniform fields requires advanced techniques such as surface integrals. Participants also clarify the relationship between electric flux and charge density, reinforcing the importance of vector calculus in understanding these concepts.

So if we have enough fillings then we will see more and less dense fillings everywhere with more and less strength of field.Delta2 said:No there aren't really any gaps there, in the magnetic field, we just see gaps because we don't have enough iron fillings.
